A view from the corner, I think this may become one of my favorite scenes. I made the inspection pit from styrene, and put s short length of plactruct tubing in the roundhouse wall, it will be changed out to the correct size/length to represent the steam line running from the boiler house. The building in place now is an old Magnuson water dept kit. An early resin kit, the walls were warped beyond my ability to correct, so I will scratchbuild a simialr building to replace it.
This pic shows the front of the roundhouse from ground level. It was taken while programming the turntable for the stall tracks, hence the diesel on the tt. A quick question: You see the whitish blemish on the lower corner of the roundhouse wall? I believe this was due to the alcohol spray I used to wet the ballast on the stall tracks in prep for glueing. The walls had previously been given a coat of dullcote to protect teh spackle mortor from coming weathering. Am I right in remembering that another application of dullcote to this area will return it to new?
