Kitbash Car Shop

[fifer]

Here is the Walthers Car Shop I am bashing down to 2 stalls with an outside track. I also scratch built the runner rails for the modified Walthers Heavy Crane. It had to have major surgery cutting it down to almost 1/3rd of it's original size. I also used Northeastern Scale Models shingles on the roof panels. I have all the windows built and need to install the cabling on the crane. The roof will be removable and details installed along with an arc welding circuit.

Thanks , Mike

I believe the base is the one that the kit comes with. There are notches in the base that allow rails to go through the picture as shown. I have not gotten this kit before but I have gotten Walthers Cornerstone kits and the base was just like this one with the notches :thumb:

That sure looks good, are we talking N scale here? Photos show better than that. Great job!:thumb:

Wow! Great work on the building and it looks great on your layout! The little details in your building are incredible. It is hard to believe it is N scale. Do you have a gallery or thread of your layout. I want to see more!:thumb:
