Well haven't posted in a while. Now that I have been much better since the cancer and have gained back a lot of my strength I am back down in the shop scratch building and kit bashing projects.

My latest project has been building a new engine house to go with our new Millhouse River Studio transfer table. This will sit across from the TW Trainworx engine house that we had built a few years ago.  I started this project with 4 IHC engine house kits. We wanted something tall enough to handle a crain inside the building and long enough to house at least 9 engines. The engine house is 4ft long and just about 2ft wide and 19inches tall.

This project is still in progress so far have just over 150+ hour into it. Between planning and building. So here are some of the pictures of the progress so far. 

Thank you for checking out the project we will be posting more as project progress.

Thank you Rich.  We will be doing a couple of videos at the house with the club layout out in the barn and the house layout  in the basement along with the Old  Train Farm collection.  It might be after the holidays. Because we have lots of things to cover for the Train Shop Weakly.  On Monday the 15th we will be in boyertown at the colebrookdale railroad and train shop. Also lots of new products coming in to the shop. 

Thank you for watching us.
