I have been building an engine terminal for my freelanced Colorado railroad in HOn3.
The roundhouse is based on the Como roundhouse model from Model masterpieces.
I have departed from the original as I skipped the boiler house and built full height doors as the roundhouse had as built (but was altered to lower doors later on).
I model the late 30's, so it is a bit modelers license involved....

The cast plaster walls were painted stone by stone (almost...):

The turntable is also a Model masterpieces kit with the pit and drive home made.


The 3D printed gearbox:

The base with turntable and rails to the roundhouse:

Getting it all assembled was a real chore.


Pre assembled the rafters which later will be glued to the removable roof:

Most of the ground cover in place.


Interior view with wooden floor on the left three stalls:

Stacks and roof beams in place:


Door construction:



I have mounted the hinges on half of the doors.


It's great fun to get them to work properly.
Here I've painted the doors on the roundhouse:

Something is hiding within:

Ahh, it's the old C19...
