to Big Blue, Eric.
I don't have the powerhouse, although I've seen it on a layout tour - very nice if properly finished. I have their roundhouse kit, as yet unbuilt. When I do get around to it, I'll be substituting styrene for the roof and all of the wood bracing that comes with the kit - much easier to work with, and will keep the dissimilar materials to two, as this, in my opinion, is a weak point with such kits.
