Show me a building with a metal roof

This structure was one of the first I built in HO scale. It is also the only building that has been on all of my HO scale layouts. I think it was built from a craftsman kit by JL Innovative Design.

It will find a home on the next layout as well.

Show me another building with a metal roof.

More shingled roofs please.

Greenvale Village on my layout has a number of buildings with shingled roofs. The Atlas ranch style house is from my first layout; it is about 60 years old. I have done some restoration work on it

Show me a building with a metal roof

Show me any "large-ish" steam locomotive.

This is the most large-ish locomotive on my layout, but I have Consolidations that can out-pull it...

I don't think it will be on the layout much longer.

Like Ed, my EM-1 2-8-8-4 is my largest steam locomotive.

It is not completed just yet. This is the most recent in-progress picture.

Nell's a Consolidation but qualifies as a small steamer, I think. We had small diesels, show me some small steam.

Show me another 40 foot boxcar.

Here's an Athearn 40' boxcar...

with the height of the sides decreased by 1'.  The car has 5/5/5 ends, from Tichy, and a Viking roof (from Des Plaines Hobbies) with board-by-board running boards.

The car shown is one of eight built.

 
The doors are from Tichy, modified to suit, and all of the tack boards are built-up, board-by-board. 

The underframe and floor are from Central Valley, modified to place the trucks closer to the car's ends, in a manner similar to that used on the Pennsy's X-29 boxcars.

I've also added drop-type sidesills, and new National B-1 trucks, from Proto.

If anybody's really bored (or maybe wants to be bored) you can see the entire build (and a bunch of similar projects) HERE

Wayne

Please show us a boxcar less than 40' long.
