Yet another machine shop

[PuckHog]

Hi Folks,  After looking around on this site for days and picking my jaw back up off the floor I think I need to post some stuff just to get the feedback and improve. It's a machine shop for my new On30 layout and I thought I was fairly close to done untill I found this forum. Oh well... I have some photos of work to date and will post more as I go. There is a poor quality video on Youtube that shows what I'll trying to do for animation.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuYkQ2bxBv8

More photos ...The steam engine is a SierraWest reissue of the CHB model. The three large belt driven machines ( planer, lathe, and drill) are all Western Scale Models.

I duuno Randy, I'm pretty impressed.
Other than some nit picky stuff I dont see any glaring errors.
Look at some reference pics on line and see what you think.
The Library of congress Historic American buildings site is a treasure trove of inspiration.

Thanks Marty,  I think I'm more unhappy with the outside finish and the roofs. Plus the tractor and figures in the open sided addition don't look so good anymore after seeing what you guys do.  .....Randy

Closer shot of problem...Layout visitors are looking thru here to the lathe spinning in the shop.  It looked okay in person but photos showed crude figures and sloppy work on the tractor....Randy

Way too cool. Love the animation. You are going to fit in just fine here.

Thank you Lloyd for your kind remarks....A couple of more shots, wanted to shoot outdoors but we got some fresh snow so I'll go with these..The first shows piping details (should steam supply lines always be wrapped?) for the twin cylinder engine.....Randy
