Eric,
Great looking loco!! Absolutely stunning!!!!

Also, are those retaining wall blocks made from the broken tile method? Looks familiar too me.

We spent the last few days completing the mainline which passes through the shitter. 

Wouldn't that be the desert of "El Crapon"? Maybe the French settlement town of "Shitier"? Or possibly the bridge over "Sit Down Valley"? And yes.....I have too much spare time

I can hear the conversation now.

You want to do WHAT!?

I promise Honey it will look nice.

Hope "El Crapitan" isn't late!
I was going to mention the "Pooper Chief" that thought it was too low brow.

A highly scenic area along the Atchison, Topeka and Shatta Fe!!!

I'd be more worried about someone knocking the train into the toilet.  Might want to add a cover, clear or otherwise, to completely enclose the trains.

Thanks, and yes I made that with the broken tile method, its actually a shelf from an HO scale display case, that I made into "two layer shelves" for N scale...this was my trial for using the blocks, ..It's kinda fun, kinda tedious, but the results look very convincing to me...

Such a simple photo till you see what it is connected to:

   I'm guessing the purple WC is water closet.

Train crews are going to start asking for oxygen masks to help get through the area.  G scale could deliver TP rolls as needed during an operating session.

I love the concept, frankly, and I like the way Chris trimmed it out to make it look like a 1st-class display shelf. It is entirely too much fun. It's a shame the restroom at our layout building is at the extreme opposite end from the layout.

(Truthfully, that was intentional. I wanted all plumbing to be as far away from trains as they could be.)

Mike:  Very good idea.  Water and indoor model railroads don't mix well, and sewage doesn't mix well with anything.
