A Service Shed
This is a little shack I built for the service track in Stevenville a while back but haven’t highlighted yet. It took about two evenings to build and paint. It is constructed out of mat board, scale lumber. The roof is plain mat board covered with paint and a facial tissue, then weathered. The windows and chimney are from Grandt Line. Total cost… about $5
The equipment details (compressor, pump house, tanks, etc.) are lead bits from Woodland Scenics.
The little shack adds a nice bit of detail to the area.
Looks like early morning in Stevenville as the local crew gets ready to start a busy day switching businesses in the industrial section of town. There are lots of customers in Stevenville and Charlie and Fred have their work cut out for them today. Picard Packers and Dickie Clothing have big shipments ready to go, so they’ll need lots of empties dropped off and loaded cars pulled out of the way.
After a long day Charlie’s looking a little sore. He’s been up and down out of the cab quite a few times today and his back has about had it. Being a brakemen in a busy industrial area is hard work. He’s not looking forward to having to do it all over again tomorrow.
Later!

It is amazing how the small details really create and finish off a scene. Looks great. Good work.
Nice Job Scott – I especially like the weathering effect on the roof -looks old, and sunbeaten – alot like some of the of UMG’ers…..

Thanks Daryl! It’s the little things that make a scene for me. Without them it’s just scenery.

Thanks Don! I’m glad you like it. Should I start taking requests? Ha!
If my blog inspires someone to get working on their own layout then it has accomplished more than I imagined it would.
Thanks again!
