Finally, here is a picture with all the surfaces washed down with A&I and the corner posts painted box car red. I have the sheds sitting on the roof card in location to get a feel for how they will look.

I also, finally finished all of the windows for the build. Tomorrow, I plan to start installing them in the roof sheds and maybe in the stone part of the building.

Here is a picture of the roof sitting in place. The location of the roof is going to be held by the trim which will glove the brick around all four sides. I may add magnets to hold it down if I think it's necessary when I see how rigid it is when completed.

The trim pieces - test fit. They are now off to be painted.

Test inside shot of the internal view. Slim is working on some LED's that are going to light up the interior.

Today, I spent the day installing windows and assembling and painting the overhead crane. I should have enough progress tomorrow to do another photo update of the Locomotive Works. I also cleared enough bench space to get back to work on the Mackenzie build. It's time to get that build detailed and installed on the layout.

I'm cutting and gluing roof cards for the roof sheds on the Locomotive Works, today.

I also got the roof support beams fitted and ready for the paint booth. The beams will be glued in after the floor and walls are completed on the inside. The belt drive system for the machine tools will be mounted to the beams.

S&S RR · January 20, 2018, 12:08:52 PM

I need to glue end caps where I had to cut the beams to fit.

John,

The interior cross beams look great. Changes the entire look of the interior.

Thanks - I'm finally at the point where I will be adding details daily that change the look of this interior. There will be a lot of testing first, before I decide on the final look.
