John,

Haven't check in on your progress for some time. Wow, what a huge roundhouse, I love it. Exterior walls are wonderfully nasty, great job.

Keep the progress going my friend.

Thanks for stopping by to see my wonderfully nasty walls. We keep plugging away at it, my friend.

Update: I took a few days off from the layout to get some work done around the house and take care of the Grandkids. I'm back at it this morning. I got my mold making supplies while I was away so I can get the castings made that I need to complete the Roundhouse project.

I'm moving again on the Brick Roundhouse.  One more back wall casting and the brick walls will be assembled for the 11 stall portion of the roundhouse. The glue is also drying on the tracks for the last two stalls. I'm working on the wood pieces for the roof beams while the glue dries. The base for 4 stall portion of the roundhouse is waiting on my workbench.  I have to put the glass in the windows of the last side wall casting and the wall castings will be ready to be assembled.

WOW, that's going to be huge. I didn't realize it has 11 stalls.

Yes, this is big.  There will be a 4 stall building right next to it so there will be 15 roundhouse stalls off the turntable.  And also a yet to be determined number of outside tracks. It will serve as the hub of locomotive activity on the S&S RR.

The project is moving along, I glued the last wall section on the 11 stall building last night. I'm going to be working on the interior beams and the walls for the second, 4 stall, building, today.

Yes it's big. Thank you for following along and the kind words.  I'm cutting strip wood for the interior beams.  Amazing amount of strip wood required.

A few progress pictures. First, the track has been glued down on the base for the 4 stall portion of the Roundhouse.
