Show us your ENGINE Facilites & Shops

 Come on!!

If that's an engine facility, let's fill it with tracks holding engines!!!

What a building you got there Pops!! Wow. Can't wait to see it on the layout. You're building a world class RR.

Thanks Joe. Where is the picture of your very nice CSX Engine facility?

 I haven't run my O gauge much this summer. Now that the weather is turning I should get back at it soon. Maybe I could put the fascia, gutters, and downspouts on sometime before I go!

 I bought some Snap-on details for the inside because I'm getting too lazy to make anything anymore. Urggg. I haven't even placed them inside.

Joe here are some of theVERY NICE CSX ENGINE house of yours!!!

My servicing facilities under construction. Turntable services 26 tracks.

Jeff very nice service area you are building. Is the RH about 10 stalls? Is the RH your design? Thank you for sharing with us.

Not much.  Korber 304 house and a very good operating Diamond Scale Turntable.

Humble, incomplete and S Scale:

 Frank, Those SF pics are great! I would like to take your modern drawings and merge them with this shop at the Argentine Yard in the KC area. I'm going to search now and see what it looks like today.

Hey Joe,

Here is the CSX shops for you!

Frank

Here is another view...............

Jeff thanks for all the additional info about the RH and TT. That is really cool to have items of that ventage and for them to still be functional. Thank you for sharing with us.

 Thanks Frank! Seems like no one picked up our request for modern modular buildings yet. I'm going to have to scratch build from your picture. Don't show me too many options. I won't be able to chose and then won't ever get started.

 I think I may have another area where I'll model the BNSF equipment I have. I already wanted the NS yard shops. Hmmm, I may need a bigger house.

Joe I spent some time over ther last few years playing around with a Modern day shop.

Look at this shot Frank. Lots of colors mixed in. Looks like a busy place in all the pics.

this shot with the open sides looks like a good way to display engines

Hi Joe,

Here are a few more ideas. How many stalls do you want?

Frank

Hey Joe,

Looks like part of the ATSF building on the left was replaced with a metal building structure.

Frank

Another CSX idea.............

Here are a few shots of my area.

Richyour engine RH and TT area look very nice. Pretty clean and not cluttered at all. Thanks for sharing with us.

Right now the service crews have cleared all four of the diesels that were here a half hour ago, and are about to take a break.

In the background on the right there is a track that can handle 5 or six cabin cars. On the the extreme left (and not in view) is another track that can service 1 or 2 steam engines (coal, water and sand).

This whole area occupies LESS than 12 square feet of space.

Thanks for the nice comments on the ATSF ABBA SHOP. It CAN HOLD 9 ABBA units on 6 tracks inside the strucyure.

The Santa Fe Shop pictured below influenced me on the general design of my Diesel shop design also shown below.

 

 

 

 

From the old layout which was in existence 1993-2003:

OK Bill....here are a bunch of shots of the diesel area.  Not close to being complete as there is a lot yet to do...

Custom built engine house and car servicing building.

The building is 100 scale feet by 80 scale feet by 40 scale feet tall. Two nearly identical buildings have been built.  When placed end to end the total length is 160 scale feet. The 2 center tracks are through tracks.
