How to fit this into a layout

I believe I'd find a good craftsman / woman to work with.  Maybe cut it down to three bays in each of two roundhouses.. or a four-two split.  That would give you the option of having two on your layout or keeping one and selling or trading the other one.  If you find the right person to do the work you might make a trade for the work instead of hiring the talent.

Nec,

If you kneed someone to look at it, contact me by e mail. I am in South Plainfield and not far from you.

@necrails- I'd talk to Alan, he's a master at his craft.

Have you given any thought to making a separate bench or table and using it as a static display? It would be a neat way to show off some locos. Some photos of it on Marty's layout around it would make a nice conversation piece.

Just my $.02

Alan ill be in touch as soon as i shake this head cold.  I was thinking along the lines of a three or four bay structure.  Everytime i head out rt 78 to allentown there is an old reading roundhouse still standing in Bethlehem that looks close to my idea.

I constructed the power plant that came from Marty’s layout and went on the highrailers layout.

The 412 exit behind the Wendys at the bottom of the ramp?

Thats the spot.  Now that i look at it on google maps its a six stall building.  Thats not a possibility for me.  I have been looking at that building since my son was attending WVU, never got off the road to take a look.
