    Nice. Looks like it has been there for some time. Used but not abused or neglected.

    That's a nice overpass scene. I really like the looks of your light rail cars.

    No, i will not represent the catenary. It need te to be too thick at this scale to be realist. The line is in the back ground, and when i see photo took far long from the line you cannot leally see catenary on this photo.

    I knew that some good model railroaders have done this challenge, but for me it is a feat !

    Thanks a lot folks! Lots of work remain !

    Here the first parts of the roundhouse interior. I have design the elements with some photo of real interior of modern roundhouse.

    Lots of these elements are scratch built to fit the photo and the atmosphere i want to represent.

    First is the access platform. It's made with evergreen woo woo woo and strip, handrails by plastruct :

    I still have a lot of stuff to realize to complete the interior. Roundhouses are big structure and the interior is very visible from the outside, so I need to build so many elements … I need courage!

    Here is the most difficult part of the bridge crane building : The hoist dolly.

    Very small parts to realize, and need to bee zen for the putting together.

    Very sharp eyesight and really steady hands. I don't have either in full any more, so am envious of your patience.

    Excellent work! It looks like one of the older bridges used in machine shops that I have seen.
