Hello all-

 

Thought I would post a few pics of a small engine house I have been working on.  The castings (front and side walls), are taken from a Banta/Stoney Creek engine house. The side doors were scratch built from strip wood.  I have yet to install the front doors or the other windows (they are all finished, just waiting to near the end of the build so I do not break them off).  The stone and wood was colored with pan pastels.  The brick was colored with acrylics.  I used Stoney Creek vellum on the roof.  Did not install the ridge cap, or vents in the roof as of yet.

 

I am not sure what this will wind up being on my layout, so I have not added any signs.  It is too tiny for O scale engines, so it will probably serve as a small warehouse, or shop of some sort.

 

Jeff

Thank you all for the kind comments.  I will be sure to post pics once I install the other windows, the doors, and the ridge vent.   I was looking through my pile of castings this am, and came up with some possible ideas.  Might add a jib crane and scale on the loading dock.  Maybe some crates, barrels, etc.   

 

There is a little brass goose neck lamp that goes over the front door.  I think it is one made by Andre (AG).   He makes some great stuff in brass.

Good morning all,

 

Here are some updated pics.  I added the opening front doors and side windows.  I added some stuff on the side loading deck, including a Tichy Jib Crane.  I am still not sure what this will wind up being as far as far as which industry - I guess some sort of small mfgr or warehouse.  I have not added any interior details as of yet, will wait until structures purpose is defined.  There is a tiny brass lamp above the front doors.
