I never finished mine and I'm embarrassed. I was influenced by the NJHR's diesel shops. I saw a pic of the CSX fueling shed at Selkirk and tried to capture it. I gave up on it for awhile until I got stronger. Now, I'm just sidetracked. Summers coming and G scale out back!!
I figured I'd concentrate on getting the G scale moved so there's more room for O.
I need to make a dozen more fuel rigs, control cabinets, and interior details. I would like a brass sanding rig w/platform. I need to finish that too. I put a couple inches of ballast in for kicks.
If I could do it over, I'd have a bigger wider building with a transfer table to park more engines. I like my diesels!!

Joe very nice picture. I like your CSX SHOP.
I am really enjoying this post! I'm just getting started on my second layout and took a few shots of my facility that is in work. I haven't determined final building/accessory final locations, but here you go. Thanks for all the pictures and ideas that have come from this thread! Terry
