You have a wonderful detailed craftsmanship about your work. It was very enjoyable watching you prepare the workshop, although it was only for someone else to detail out.

always enjoy your videos. thanks for doing what you do

Mountain Dew! A modeler's delight.

If building a structure that will serve as a major repair area for steam era locomotives and one is going to detail the interior there are a number of detail items that should be included. One is either a large horizontal or vertical lathe for locomotive components. Second is most likely a Horizontal Boring Mill for cleaning up the bores of worn cylinders. Third is a good size Radial Drill Press. Fourth is something that I do not know if you can even get as a detail part. It might have to scratchbuilt (runs hands together gleefully👍). And that is a Horizontal Hydraulic Press. We had one were I served my apprenticeship that was bought used from a closed repair facility for steam locomotives. It would have been able to press the drivers off and on their axles up to about a 72" diameter driver. Fifth of course is all the other shop items. Gas axe (oxy acetylene tanks), smaller machine tools, work benches, tool boxes, smaller presses (arbor or hydraulic), an area for working with Babbitt (see the scene in the train were Burt Lancaster is pouring a new bearing) and of course the coffee pot. You cant fix anything without a good strong cup of java. Can you really see a Starbuck's cup in a steam locomotive repair facility? 😉

I enjoyed that. You built the machine shop methodically and included some filing of parts too which I might have overlooked. Thanks Peter.

you always make it look so easy

That’s a nice looking build, Peter. We’ll done!

Hello Peter, that was a nice little build. See ya next week.

Looks great, but I always like to see how you add the little details to make it so much better than just a kit, but you had a handicap on this one....thanks for sharing....Jack

Great work 👍

Hi Peter yes a bit of weathering would have made it look alot better , I couldn't afford a round house, so I had a look at my sons old Thomas the tank engine round house ,it has automatic opening doors and with a bit of card and painting ,then weathering voila! We can never underestimate the power of the brush! 👍👍👍👍👍

thank you detail video from Australia

The customer is always right even when they are wrong lolol

Love the dog!

4:10 "And although assembling [the walls] on the floor would be the easiest way to go about it..." ... the dogs are running around down there and they'd probably break it.

Great video and info as always! Question, though.. you're essentially welding the pieces together, but what if you had painted it first, what kind of glue do you use after painting? I imagine that the MEK wont be the ideal cement at that point.

Good video. Want to see the round house build.

Where did you get the spru clippers?

Building looks good. Shame you couldn't paint it.

You are well aware.. the customer isn't always right, however they pay the bills..hopefully

Nice job I sub u

Sad that your customer didn’t want any painting or weathering of the structure. Did they give you a reason for their choice?

What did you use to glue the pieces together?

Oh well. Unfortunately, orders are orders. I guess the customer does not want to incur any extra costs, no matter what the reason. However, despite those instructions, I think you could have gotten away with a semi matte spray finish on the exterior brickwork before you put everything together. This customer knows of your talents so I personally don’t see why he’d get upset over a minor upgrade. After all, you left an option to improve it in the future if so desired. But as you said...... Either way, a basic build to show how good the kit looks even without the detailing one could put into it.

Great job why don’t you build another kit and paint it like you want show video doing this
