I am very attached to my multipurpose 1940 Roundhouse with 2 additions. A two-story assembly repair building, and a one-story Machine shop. It is part of my researched and scratch build Lost to history First Terminal on the Hudson River.

The 1840 Lithograph of this building: This is very old and the only picture of it is on an old map.
The roundhouse. the red brick building is the Car shop.
The two additions are the locomotive assembly and repair building. and the machine shop.
Here you see the south side of this 1840 complex in Jersey City, NJ.

That shop facility is quite an undertaking.

Remarkable achievement. The lithograph is an important document as it gives a real time perspective of the moment when mankind went from foot and hoof to iron rail.
Itsa miracle I was able to get this together! Tyco piece, think it was like $10. Borrowing the idea from...Blax...
or somebody, used colored sharpies to pick out the finer details. Works pretty good, but probably better if
a coat of white primer was laid down first.

I remember this build from a while back you did an excellent job. Do you plan on working it into your new layout?

My BOTW is the Atlas Modern Home. Not a real common piece. Still needing for a few more pieces to be added... This was one of those kits that I had to have when I first became aware of it's existence. It's funny, but since 1999, I had a plan where only certain pieces would satisfy what I wanted on my layout. I had bought things over time that after thinking about them, they didn't meet my needs. They became Christmas presents and pieces I'd give away...

Chops - I would agree but I had one on my layout in the 60's

The "Modern House" kit is different from, but reminds me of, a house in the Movie North by Northwest, which is copyrighted 1959. It's kind of retro-modern by today's standards. The art deco of the 1930s was kind of vertical, where this has more of a horizontal feel, so it would probably fit into anything postwar, up through the '70s.
