Good Evening! Chloe, make that a [B] for me, please! I think I deserve it! Johnboy - good to see you! Continuing prayers for you! I hope that swallowing will come back soon! As the trackwork seems to be fine now and both the 4-4-0 and the Forney have a smooth ride over it, I started out on the building of the engine house. Here comes the result of today´s activity:  <img class="bbc_img" src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1080001_zps52177705.jpg" alt="P1080001_zps52177705.jpg" /> The frame is made of 4 x 4mm stripwood, the windows are industrial windows from Addie Modellbau/Germany, made a touch smaller. <img class="bbc_img" src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1080003_zps4642383e.jpg" alt="P1080003_zps4642383e.jpg" /> The frame was treated with my secret mixture to give it an aged look. For the planking, I used .5mm Afara veneer. I gave it also a treatment with my secret mixture, followed by a red wash to give it a faded "barn-red" look. <img class="bbc_img" src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1080003_zps4642383e.jpg" alt="P1080003_zps4642383e.jpg" /> <img class="bbc_img" src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1080004_zps25c726fc.jpg" alt="P1080004_zps25c726fc.jpg" /> ... and finished ( almost )  <img class="bbc_img" src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1080006_zps78b2efdc.jpg" alt="P1080006_zps78b2efdc.jpg" /> The wall will see some more subtle weathering with pigment powders to represent decay and some "growth", ie. moss etc.
