Might as well get this started on the proper day, at least. 
While I hadn't intended to do any more work on the second level of my layout until I got some other tasks out of the way, I decided to start the roundhouse for the Mount Forest terminal area.
I've had this Korber kit for a number of years, with the intention of using it here. It was too long for my requirements and too big for the intended locale, too, so I lopped-off one two-window bay from the rear. Because of the proximity of the tight radius curve which passes behind it to gain access to the upper staging yard, across the aisle, I also shortened #1 stall.

This is a resin kit, and I since didn't trust ca for permanent assembly, I used machine screws in conjunction with JB Weld epoxy. The screw heads haven't yet been filled over. I'm also ditching the kit's wood truss framing and cardstock and gravel roofs for styrene, as I want the roof to be removeable.
