Impressive work, Carl. I'm also impressed by your work with TMCC installations in S scale equipment.

Beautiful work, Carl! Continue to keep us up-to-date on your progress. That is shaping up to be one heck of a gorgeous layout.

Very nice Carl. The detail is outstanding. Amazing what you can do without a third rail. Who makes the roundhouse??? It looks like it could be Korber but it's different than either O-scale model that was offered.

Thanks to All for the comments.. Smile

Mike, the roundhouse is a Kitbash of 3 IHC (Now Atlas) 2 stall engine houses.
I used the Brick, Windows and Doors etc over a prototypical scratch built framework made from spruce. I still have lighting and interior detailing to do yet.

Thanks for the information Carl. That is just a great looking roundhouse. Especially since the parts came from something that was not round and then made slightly smaller for S-scale.

Well the mountans are done for now. I have to get busy now and clean up the layout and tune it up for the LOTS National Convention here July 7-12th.

http://www.lots-trains.org/2008EightPageConvBrochure2.pdf

We are one of the Tour Layouts on July 11th. (The Date is wrong in the brouchure it says the 10th but is really the 11th)

I hope to see some of you here then! Smile
