One way to spend a rainy weekend. A small loco shed & repair is a diorama, designed to take pictures of rolling stock. Of course, be included in my layout. Placed in a visual foreground. It’s almost a cutaway for photo purpose. (I hope …)
That is really nice. I need to build a shed for my layout.
Xavier,
That is some nice work on that loco shed, thanks for sharing all the pictures.
I like your cut-away to make the inside more visible to the viewer.
Is it an indoor or outdoor railroad? If outdoor. where? Looking at the background in some
of those pictures looks like the roof would be the only outside area available :)=)
Rick
Interesting how yuo did the framing. I like your backgrounds! Somewhere in Spain?
Paul
Nice work Xavier. 
Awsome work. Nothing beats real wood.
Great looking workmanship…
Man, that’s some serious construction you’ve got there.
Any bigger and you’re going to need to go to city hall to get a building permit.

i think, this will be most interesting to be watched, while it grows.
Thanks for the comments. Paul, yes actualy I’m near Tarragona, a city on the Mediterranean sea. Is 90 miles from my house in Andorra. The way to construct the frame is a solution to problem of the have only half numbers of pilars, due to cutaway desing. Rick, is an indoor layout. But in the future i would like to build a branch outdoor. Forrest, I no have permit yet! ( but, you know…)

Superb. Love your weathering techniques, as always. I’d love to know your secret for the dirty glass.
Jon??? If he told you, it wouldn’t be a secret now, would it…

Well … today it’s inspection of the work. With these works, you never know what you are getting … (By the way … we do not have work permits of those who granted the town hall!. We are negotiating the price. But just between us.)

Perhaps when it’s finished it will look something.

We will have to wait to see what purpose is the firewood… (do not doubt, has a purpose. And important!)
Nice work Xavier
Wonderful job. Are we going to get to see it staged with trains ?
