Another beautiful and functional piece, Al.
This looks incredible. So simple, but it works too?!
Wow John, you’re up late. Or early.
Today i finished up the outer wall sections. the east wall is full length, while the west wall is only half length to support the roof sections which i need to template and assemble next.
East wall doesn’t get much light:
And the west wall seen in this overall view, is not very visible at all. in fact i have left out the window on that side as it is not seen.

Following with great interest Al. It all looks fantastic.
One q - what’s the plan for operating the turnout on the right beside the shed? Long arms, or ??
Cheers

More beautiful work, Al! I had the same question as Neil; and extending it to the doors?
Al this is really coming along and work as always is fantastic. These last couple of pics have raised a concern though.

Two older pics from during progress.
In these views I noticed the sag that has started already in your 2 masonite panels at the right rear wall. from the corner behind your two tracks to above the window. I may be overly concerned from your better on site perspective, but would now be a good time to add a ledge or support brace at least along the back wall to keep those panels from falling in the future?
It is plain you are thinking of a clean surface so as not to ruin the flat expanse of an imagined sky over the roundhouse but I’d hate to see the panels drop in the future.

Neil,
the turnouts in the new space are operated with servos, Tam Valley servo controls are used and mounted to the front of the bench work.

I am not worried about the Masonite panels with a slight sag, as they are otherwise secured, and there was nothing to attach to at the outer edges.of the foundation.
