That Triplex is a beast 
..
The round house is all painted now.
I textured the spot for the sign to look like concrete and added the company logo and the year of construction to It.
As for the back walls I removed two sections to allow the rails to pass through it in order to allow entry into the Back shop building that will be located behind the round house. Any one that has been on the shop tour at Steam town in Scranton will familiar with this arrangement. So now the openings need doors to keep the cold Pennsylvania winters out.
The doors are styrene with rivets and bracing to look like steal on the outside, the interior surface is heavy wood planking.
Now for some hinges and hardware.
I started on the hinges by bending and soldering brass wire to make a hook These will be attached to the interior surface of the doors and a pin attached to the building to hang the doors from. I'll add latches and grabs latter, once that is finished I can weather the structure.
