Roland thank you. I'm very pleased with the way it turned out. Yes, I have a small layout in the planning.
Karl A. thank you; much appreciated. I had a lot of excellent examples to go by; yours included.

Larry, You should be proud of what you accomplished. Hope to see a small layout in the future.

Jerry thank you. Not quite sure which direction I want to go in. Been toying with the idea of a shelf layout 6 ft x 16 in which would fit nicely between two windows in the room. Also I have a simple track plan, with some very minor modifications, that would fit and leave plenty of room for buildings and scenery. I just don't want to put JD's on a shelf to collect dust. We'll see how things shake out.
Michael thank you; much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed watching the build, I know I enjoyed building it and I am very happy with the results.
Philip thank you so much.

Larry,
I’ve really enjoyed watching you build the shop. It is a very fine model of which you deserve to be proud.

Kyle thank you. We could squeeze in a cot next to the furnace; that way you'd be nice and toasty.
Rick thank you. Actually I've been toying with the idea of a 74 x 16 inch module layout. Nothing big with a simple track plan to showcase JD's and other future builds; maybe run a few trains. We'll see.

Looks great.
Will this end up on a layout or a larger diorama at some point?

Well JD's Machine Shop is finished, unless I find something to squeeze in down the road:
Here is the pedestal grinder which was scratch built. I used a piece of 1/4 inch K&S aluminum stock for the upright and cross member. The base is foam core and I cut down two pillow blocks to hold the shaft. Had two metal discs which were glued to the ends of the shaft for the emery wheels. The whole thing was sprayed grey and weather. The drive belt I made slightly wider than the others just for some variety.
Here's the grinder looking through the rail door; nothing fancy just a basic design.
These are all of the machines in the main shop.
This is a view of the entire building which turned out to have a footprint of about 12 inches long and 6 inches deep.
That's about it for the build. To all of you who stopped by with your wonderful comments and suggestions, thank you so much as it was greatly appreciated. If you stopped by and didn't comment I hope you enjoyed the build as much as I did building it.
