I am working on the Walthers Roundhouse kit. It comes as a 3 stall kit, but additions can be purchased. I was looking at Walthers and for 3 add on stalls it costs over $55. The same kit costs less than that, before the sale price. Since I want more than 3 stalls, I purchased another kit. Now I get to save money, and have some left over wall parts. Photos of some progress to come, maybe if I have time between taking the kids to daycare, doctor appointment, and physical therapy.
I need to take the floor sections and attach them all together, then paint them. I will most likely use "Aged Concrete" in ye olde airbrush. They are cast in the correct collor, if you want them to look like the floor where just poured the day before.
I am also breaking ground for the 90' TT and a concrete coaling tower. The 1:1 scale built by Fairbanks Morse, back in the day, where tough. The one at Saginaw Yard is still standing, and it was built in 1920 - or so. They decided it would cost more to remove it then leave it there. What's more, the Blue Water chapter of the NRHS is based out of there, and they had some engineering company check it out (since they want to have some steam excursion services there soon) and according to the report, all it needs is a new hoist motor, a coal receiving track, and some coal, and it will be good to go. That is some serious construction.

Don't follow me, I'm lost too.
