The "new" JJJ&E In N Scale

[Powersteamguy1790]

Gotta love a big roundhouse, looks like I need more of those Walthers kits, I only have 4 plus 1 of the older smaller 3 stall kits.

Thanks for your comment Jan. I used 8 stall Walters kits for the 24 stall Roundhouse.

Stay cool and run steam......

Bob,

The roundhouse in color, even better.

I have a 9 stall in HO that will go on the third level of the new layout. Its from the old layout.

Tom

Thanks Tom. A color photo is nice for a Roundhouse, but a classic B&W photo of the Roundhouse is more distinctive in my opinion.

Better yet an old Sepia Photo OF A UP "Challenger" #3977 On The Bridge Of The 130 Foot Turntable On The "New" JJJ&E, with the weathered 24 stall Roundhouse in the background.

My favorite one of that picture is the B&W one. Just my opinion.

This side of the RH is as nice as the other side.

Thanks Curt.  The holding tracks adjacent to the turntable and Roundhouse add alot of "flavor" and makes the scene very realistic.

An overhead view of the holding track area adjacent to the turntable and Roundhouse. The Peco Code 80/55 Flex Track Is Easily Ballasted. I used Arizona Rock & Mineral Black Cinder Yard Ballast In The Turntable Area

Great picture. I used W/S cinders in my RH area.

Thanks Curt. I like the Arizona Rock and Mineral ballasts. They are natural rock ans spread evenly.

This Is A Very Early Photo Of Ballasting The Holding Tracks And Tracks Entering The Roundhouse /b]

24 Roundhouse Tracks And 10 Holding Tracks, Plus Two Entry/Exit Tracks  Are Completely Ballasted With Arizona Rock & Mineral N Scale Black Cinder Yard Ballast. The Peco code 80/55 flex track mates well with Unitrack.

Very Cool.

Very Cool.

Thanks Curt. This helicopter photo was interesting to take. The ceiling in the room is 12 feet high. I used a long tripod to get this photo. I couldn't do it now with all the scenery in place.
