Dave: Thanks for the comments! Guilty as charged, my enginehouse is a very old model - it was MR's "Model of the Month" in June 1983. I made it as a modeling execise to be able to take interior photos. My next project, a machine shop, was MR's "Model of the Month" for December of the same year. Here's a shot looking in one of the end doors: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v409/railfan/MachineShop.jpg[/IMG] Both this and the enginehouse are freestanding models, not on any layout. When I made a second pair of modules about ten years ago, I wanted to add something similar that visitors could see the insides. So I built another machine shop that is on the edge of the module, as if it were cut right open with everything on display. There is a sheet of clear plastic in front of it for train shows. Here it is: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v409/railfan/MachineShopInt.jpg[/IMG] It had to be made extra sturdy to be able to handle the facts of hauling the modules around. I've crushed the roof at least twice when it was set up at home, and had to repair it. Click on the above photo to see a larger copy. Bob Boudreau
