Now there’s a fine example of compound switch work. So when does construction start BD? 
Very cool, never seen that type of shed.
Must be an. Area where they don’t worry about going t’other way with head end power! A little more room and I could almost fit that!
The river is just to the right…
There is a turntable (and its still there too) just beyond the engine house. Engine house is long gone.

Thanks Bob! I thought it was odd to not have one.
The Asa Packer Mansion is high on my bucket list. Visit Victorian Splendor! The Asa Packer Mansion Museum in Jim Thorpe!
I always thought that the Carson Mansion in Eureka ,CA would make a beautiful model, I think it would take someone with way more skill and patience than I have to pull it off.

Their arrangement makes sense. Up against a hillside, it would be tough to fit an 18-stall roundhouse around a single turntable. Neat solution.

Good use for those curved turnouts.
The Carson Mansion is the ultimate Victorian! And the interior is even more splendid than the exterior.
