Got what may be a dumb question here, but i'm brainf*rting big time. What do they call the building or roof seen in earlier stations that would cover multiple tracks? I saw a manufacturer of these in O Gauge at some point way back in my search, but at this time I cant even recall the name of the structure. I guess I finally hit the "Gettin' Old" phase of my life. Thanks in advance!

BINGO! That's it, did a search and found what I needed. Thanks for the help, hate to ask this way, but when you're a one man team, you got to do what you need to. Attached is what I'm looking for. Now, I can stop being "rainman" putting train and roof together trying to find the right term. My dogs think I'm crazy, but are now answering to "train roof".....thanks mlavender480!

There is a guy who sells a beautiful smallish-size glass-roof shed in the Oranga Hall (far right corner from the front doors) at York. He sells European made trains. I wish I had space for one.

While train sheds came in all sizes, I was blown away by how big many of them are/were! A search on the internet reveals how they sometimes dwarfed the trains.

Joe.

I have seen this guy also at York.

These are the sheds made by Ace Trains from the UK. They are very nice, however there are about 200 parts to each unit, lots of screws and nuts, etc.

Hi Alan, Thanks for the posting. I believe Joe is contemplating up to four sheds just like yours, same color and options.
