Wasted detail

I have had that question in my mind for a long time. I have a building with a lot of inside detail, with no roof. I don't want to roof it, but seems illogical to have a roofless bldg. What's to do?

It's a matter of...
...showmanship. You're an Ntraker. You do events. It has to be an eye popper when you take off the roof and say, "Get a look at this", to the nearby victim with a camera, I mean admirer.
Detail is only wasted by those in a hurry to produce less. For whatever reason- that's not a negative comment either. You produced more for a reason- so show it. It was a scene worthy of rendering more.
Run with it.

Cool work, maybe you can do some of the same detail in some of my passenger trains. 
There is a ton of pride in your work and it shows.

This detailing work is awesome, Bill! And this in N scale- WOW! :thumb::thumb::thumb:
Perhaps you could make the roof easily removable by adding some stiffening rafters and/or crossbraces. It really would be a shame to hide this fine craftsmanship permanently.

now that is amazing.
I agree with Ron, do not attach the roof, then while you are giving your layout tour, you relate a story to do with the mess hall or maybe one of the LPBs inside. At the appropriate time in the story, you remove the roof to show the guys talking.
Gotta show off artwork like that.

I think the roof has got to be the answer to this. Spifire did an awesome job on a corner diner. It was lit up to show it off, but the biggest thing is that a diner could have large windows. She milked it for all it was worth, but it looked like you could just walk in and order coffee and pie.
