Latest update with Engine house

Hey everyone,

I was due for an update, so here we go.

I started work on finishing my Hawkesbury yard but stop so I could work on an old engine house which will house passenger cars and a steam locomotive, which will be behind the Hawkesbury train station.

 

Here’s the story about the old engine house which of course is fictional. 

In the 1930’s or so, this building was used as an engine house for CP steam locomotives and was abandoned with time. The city of Hawkesbury bought the building for $1 and fixed it up to house four vintage passenger cars and a steam locomotive.

During the week, the FP-9A and B will be pulling 1970 passenger cars on a tour and will be replace by the Royal Hudson pulling vintage passenger cars on Sundays (mainly during operating sessions).

As for the construction of this building, everything is scratch build. Walls are made of foam core board with embossed paper brick to give its 3D look, the roof is made of styrene for one and shingles for the big roof (to come) and the inside is balsa wood planks for what we can see inside and balsa for reinforcement.

I’ve been working on the building for now 3 weeks and still have about 2 more weeks of work, that’s why I don’t have much to show for the last month.
