Hhhmmm...Decisions, decisions.. - Steamtrains - 03-06-2010 I started to work on the area where the foundry is gonna live, so naturally I had to move it out of the way. As I often do, I just moved it to some other place on the layout and go about my business. When I finished working on the area (prepping the "ground" for cover and such...) I clean up after me, and sit down to contemplate the layout...I look over to where the foundry is sitting...and I'm floored..!! It looks GORGEOUS just where it's sitting... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, since this is the roundhouse area, it sure isn't going to stay there...But...I'm now thinking of building the roundhouse not as originally planned.... ![]() but with a sheetmetal structure.... What do you guys think..?? Re: Hhhmmm...Decisions, decisions.. - Ralph - 03-06-2010 I say go for it!!!!! Ralph Re: Hhhmmm...Decisions, decisions.. - Charlie B - 03-06-2010 It sounds like a great plan. Charlie Re: Hhhmmm...Decisions, decisions.. - ocalicreek - 03-06-2010 1/2 n 1/2. Do a couple or three stalls in basic traditional brick, then add another set of stalls in the sheet metal. They could even just be open air with a sheet metal roof (to keep that hot desert sun off) Galen Re: Hhhmmm...Decisions, decisions.. - OBJack - 03-07-2010 I like the sheet iron plan Gus. Its only me maybe,and it depends I guess on what era you are planning, and how rundown (or not) it will be, but I like the detail you could add and the fun of the sheet metal structure. I reckon you did such a good job on the Foundry that you would be itching to have a go at another one and embellish it some more, make it truly an original. ![]() Jack ![]() Re: Hhhmmm...Decisions, decisions.. - Steamtrains - 03-09-2010 Sorry to get back a li'l late on this...(Been workin' on the railroad...). Since it'll only be a 3-stall r'house (space is limited... ![]() ![]() ![]() |
