Nice to have the Diner moved with such finesse and flawlessness! Thank you Jim!
So we're in the roundhouse? I'll just sit in the corner, um, when I can find it
Here's the old remains of the first roundhouse I called my 'childhood home' for quite a few years. This is the New York Central Roundhouse and turntable in their major Collinwood Yard on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio:

Well, this is the way I remember it, anyway. It had been torn down a few years prior and I don't have any recollection of it standing.
In better days:

I used to stand on that bridge with my dad and observe all the activities. Even getting invited to ride along with a switcher crew every now and then
Cheers, Ed
Jim,
Thank you for moving the Diner!
Cheers!!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Hi everyone!
Once again it is time to move the Diner! The suggested theme for this month was roundhouses. I'm sure there are plenty of pics and stories of roundhouses, but to keep things interesting, let's expand the offering to include locomotive shops and servicing facilities.
