I have finally found some time to get back into the train room...... Finish most of the construction of the roof on the workshop area in the Quarry Engine House. The roof was built from a piece of very thin plywood, scale 2" x 10" scale lumber, Corrugated Steel Roofing cut to size, Styrene Tubing for the smoke stack, and some .015 piano wire for the chimney supports.
For those who remember the inside of the workshop and the detail I put in it, don't worry.... The roof is detachable!

I'd rather make it sturdy and not prone to get smacked around weird than just what would be adequate. Plus, it's nice to know you CAN park a car on top of it if you have to...

That looks like a very interesting roof and having the roofer working on it adds a lot to the scene. If I can make one small suggestion, I would have taken more time to have to boards meet together at the peak. If you want to stay dry inside you will have to install a ridge cap and covering those gaps will be a problem. However, as I can see that you are a very creative modeler I'm sure you will find a way to do it.
Great scene!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Here's a shot of the Denver North UP Intermodal yard.
And a shot of the real yard I modeled this from.
