New Lisbon engine house

[ak-milw]

I am starting on the engine house that sat inside the wye in New Lisbon, Wis. It will not be a very exciting build seeing that it is basicly three walls and a roof but I figured I would post it anyway. I have the walls cut out and started bracing. I am using lap siding basswood sheet for the walls and 3/16 sq. for the bracing. The build is in HO and will measure 9 inches at it's longest part and 5 inches wide. The front of the building will sit against the backdrop at an angle, so we just get to see the back.

I cut out the window openings and braced the three walls.

Painted the inside black and assembled the walls.

The roof is on, the windows are in and added the side entry way.

Thanks Cor, sorry no prototype pictures but I used a picture from another modeler in N scale. I will have to see if he will let me post it .

[ak-milw]

I got it painted and no I didn't run out of paint, you will see why later, but I think you can figure it out before.

The roofing is all done.



now for a few details and it is ready for the layout.

looking good, maybe some more pictures from all around?
i am curios how the doors looking.
Cor

[ak-milw]

No doors Cor, it sits against the backdrop so there is no front.

All the roof junk is on.



I will post pictures of all the sides when I get it on the layout.

Andy.........

I didn't understand either but it is a very cool idea........  Are you doing anything on the wall or back drop to continue the foot print of the building ?

see ya

I wish I could Bob but I am not that good of an artist. I tried it a couple other times with different backdrops and ruined everyone, so I gave up trying.
