I was playing with a design to use for my small locos and came up with this.
It's 18 x 40-inches. Might be kind of fun!

That is still in the works, this was just another idea.

I think its a great idea then you can do some experimenting with the turntable an perhaps rustic it up a bit. Lots of room there for detail.

While watching the Dallas Cowboys blow their playoff chances, I was drawing an engine house for the Pine Creek on my laptop, then printing it on card stock and cutting it out. #1 (white roof) was too big. #2 (green roof) still looked too big. #3 (blue roof) was better but I didn’t like the side building. I traded the one from #2 and I think it came out all right.
Don’t you just love computers!

Ain't they grand??
I don't know Bob....that blue roof looks a little narrow to me....I would think you would want a tad more overhang on the eaves?
That's just me.
Sorry about the Cowboys......sorta. 
I like the looks of the buldings......is that a model power tank on your flat there?

I agree about the overhang but I like the size and shape.
That is a model power tank. I started that after one that you did awhile back. It still needs weathering and dullcoat.

Cool!
Those are great little tanks.
You don't need to do too much more on it...the peeled paint effect looks great.

I started on a little turntable for Pine Creek. A 4-inch drain cap and a 4-inch round grate.
Manual operation.
