Beautiful work Mike. The amount of trouble you went to with all that framing, especially the roof is amazing.
Nice that the roof is removable, so we can see all the detail.
The two buildings together make such a nice scene. Some of you best work yet. The old loco is a thing of beauty too.

Rob,

Thank you. The scene rather developed over the years. I built the enginehouse about 25 years ago, before I even had a place for it on my layout at the time. It now has a home. I built it for the NMRA Achievement Program; it's completely built board on board, including the board and batten sides and the windows. The only commercial parts are nbw's, downspouts, and the smoke jacks. I got a first in structures at an NMRA regional convention. The car shop was built more quickly with commercial sheetwood and Tichy windows.

I wish that locomotive ran as good as it looks.

Mike

Terrific construction, Mike. You should be able to get some nice interior photos looking in through an empty stall doorway.

Thanks, Bill. I would probably want to add some interior details. I think an enginehouse like this was mainly for parking locomotives out of the weather and for doing only minor maintenance. Still, a few shelves and tools would look good.
