I have been getting some questions pertaining to the Diesel Shop and interior access platforms that are shown in my layout article in the current issue of OGR, Run #255.
As one of the captions indicate, the building itself is a custom built model by Jim Robinson at Bridgeboss. Besides his excellent bridges and supports, he also provides the diesel shop. Jim will build to your specifications and I added a few details after I got mine like a few decals, HVAC units on the roof and a caged ladder at the rear. I also built a foundation around the perimeter to allow me to remove the building if necessary.
Here is Jim’s website:

The interior platforms are also custom units that were built by David Duhamel at Crescent Locomotive Works Inc. David builds a number of very nice wood structures along with these platforms. David built my platforms to the specifications I provided him and they turned out beautiful as the pictures below show.

Both David and Jim are very friendly and talented guys to work with and I recommend you give them a call for any stock or custom work you may want built for your layout. I am also sure both of these guys hang out in the Orange hall at York in April and October.
