I know lots of you have drooled over "Leaving Tracks" beautiful train shed..... Jim Robinson, aka Bridge Boss, made us one smaller than Alan's but a perfect fit for our layout..... It has five tracks under cover and each shed unit is 16" long.... We have assembled three of these into a single 48" shed....

 

What a fun project this was.... Jim sent us a design diagram so we knew how to lay out the tracks, and several elevated views of what we would receive. The 3 sheds came fully assembled and they were incredibly well packed in a single, large box..... He also installed lighting for us, and finished the roofs..... I was very surprised to find that he had etched the plexiglass roofs to look like seperate panes of glass..... the whole thing fell together......

 

Now, if you are not big on green - that's my fault - I painted them before we added them to the layout...... they fit perfectly into the spot we had constructed for them.....

 

Jim is bringing at least one of these to York, as well as his bridges of various configurations..... we first worked with Jim on a 60" or so long highway truss bridge he made for us, which, by the way, we finally assembled this weekend. It too just fell together.

 

Thanks Jim!

Hi Steve, Great looking train sheds. I like that shade of green you selected. I'm planninig on having a couple sheds at York next month both in a moss green which is lighter than what you used. I will be bringing a very large assortrment of bridges, Elevated EL's, new Elevated stations, New girder bridges and others. I will be in a new location FF-6 in the Orange hall. Hope to see there and at Friday's.

 

thanks.

Nah, that'd be Mark Howe. 

 

Steve, the sheds look great!  The more I see pictures of these, and what I've seen at York, the more I'm trying to figure a way to add them to my layout.
