As a distraction from my other projects I have decided to convert a old layout which I started over 10 years ago which was to be a British diesel depot. Having started collecting some Milwaukee Road diesels this sounded like a good idea to build my first AmericaN Scale layout.
Below are some images of the progress which started last December;
Here was the starting point, a Peco diesel engine shed and a cassette off scene area.
After selecting St Paul as a prototype I set to work converting the Peco shed to look like the building in this link -

Next an overpass and concrete footings for the shed were added.
Tremendous Earth powder was used for ballast and weathered down using MIG powders.
Add a cut down Walthers car shed as a back drop.
And a good friend had my design for a surround laser cut from 3mm plywood.
