My worst pet peeve...waiting for products to arrive to finish a scene

[Guest]

I am in the process of purchasing a broken brass engine on eBay in order to put the lower assembly in the mechanics bay. I am going to put the boiler on a flat car chained down.

It's beautiful Christopher. Lots of time and effort has gone into detailing it. I remember we had one of these roundhouses in the middle of the city across from the main train station in Brickfields. Always wanted to know what was inside of it but its been pulled down ages ago and in its place is the Central Station, hotels and office blocks. Your diorama gives me an idea of what it would have looked like. Thanks.

Cheers,
Richard

Hello everyone...the trains are functional. Three are brass from PFM (Pacific Fast Mail) and one is plastic from Bachmann. If anyone is interested in seeing a real working roundhouse in the states, I suggest Jamestown, California, the Durango Silverton Railroad In Colorado, the Chama Railroad in New Mexico and the Ely Railroad in Nevada. I have visited them all and they are quite stunning. Here are a few photos from my recent trip to Ely.
