Sunday engine house shots
Posted by emdmike on Sunday, November 10, 2019 9:19 AM

On this day of rest, lets see your engines at rest in your engine houses/house tracks.    Here is my shot of all 3 of my geared lokies resting in the engine house while the crews and their familys are at church.  Shays 10 and 2 along with big Willamette #6 sit with banked fires awaiting their time to return to the woods for more logs for the ever hungry sawmill.     Mike the Aspie

Though not all at the roundhouse,every engine on the layout is in this shot:

Some diesels on my last layout:

Nobody's home here, but here is my trolley barn, actually made from an engine house kit.

As roundhouses seem to be OK, I have one of them, too:

This in an Atlas 3-stall roundhouse and a couple of Geeps.  The turntable is an Atlas, too, "pit-bashed" from a deck to a pit turntable.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

Why, thank you, Antonio Smile It has been years since I've made any additions or changes to the details.  How about a few more peeks?

Excellent work Ed!

I looked that photos on your FLIKR page and enjoyed looking at your high quality work. Structures, trackwork, weathering and the signals over your doubletrack mainline were stellar. Your layout should be featured in an MRR issue. Thank you for sharing Big Smile
