Engine House scratchbuild

What ever you end up naming/using it for, it will be a show stopper for sure.  Looks great.  Russ

Very nice

Nice job, it'll look great on the RR in the background!

Hello Jeff • Looks great.

That is very nice.

Very nice building.

thanks for sharing.

Andre.

Nice building - great job!

Jeff,An amazing build and extremely unique.I like the design.You can see inside well.Would love to see it placed on the layout.Nick

Both are nice work and creative detail.

A buggy coachworks, or barrel shop comes to mind looking at it.

Nice building

Very nice work on both structures.

Thank you all for the kind comments.  I will be sure to post pics once I install the other windows, the doors, and the ridge vent.   I was looking through my pile of castings this am, and came up with some possible ideas.  Might add a jib crane and scale on the loading dock.  Maybe some crates, barrels, etc.   

There is a little brass goose neck lamp that goes over the front door.  I think it is one made by Andre (AG).   He makes some great stuff in brass.

Very nicely done Jeff.

Good morning all,

Here are some updated pics.  I added the opening front doors and side windows.  I added some stuff on the side loading deck, including a Tichy Jib Crane.  I am still not sure what this will wind up being as far as far as which industry - I guess some sort of small mfgr or warehouse.  I have not added any interior details as of yet, will wait until structures purpose is defined.  There is a tiny brass lamp above the front doors.

Excellent craftsmanship, the coloring is perfect. i think the best place to put this on the layout would be on mine.

Great craftsmanship.

This is inspired. Thanks for sharing!!!!

Nice detail, great craftsmanship would be a nice machine/blacksmith shop.

Now that's some cool detailing, very nice!  Love dem' doors!  Russ

Thank you.

The doors were a tough one - lining up the pin through the Grandt line hinges was a bit of a challenge.

lovely done

are the side walls from the ridgway engine house?

i have done something simular

Cor

Hi Cor -

Thanks

The side and front walls are from the Stoney Creek Designs 'The Car Shop'

Nice build on your part as well

Jeff

hi Jeff

you mentioned Banta, thats why i thought it was a part from ridgway

these side walls are a good lookalike from the ridgway kit (from Banta)

now you mentioned the car shop i reconised it

Cor

Hi Cor-

If I am correct, Banta did the S Scale version.  I think Wiseman is selling a similar kit now, with the same castings, using Resin walls.

Jeff

Jeff

if they did the S scale , dont know

i know fore sure they did it in O scale, i bought a kit years ago

here are some pictures from my roundhouse, i build it as a 5-stall
