With its usual precision, Spur1-igArtig.de has completed a locomotive shed that corresponds to part of the original from 1907. The prototype is located in Saint-Maurice in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.

Sometimes you have to make do with what's available on the gauge 1 market - until you come across better alternatives. Now the German roundhouse has been replaced by a ring-shaped locomotive shed based on an Austrian prototype.

A modeler has built an Austrian-style locomotive shed for a gauge 1 layout. Of course with interior equipment. 33 photos.

Horst Göhr has turned a simple locomotive shed kit into a highly detailed model for 1 scale. 56 pictures, prototype photos and a video.

Not a grass mat next to the gravel, but a varied vegetation makes the locomotive shed diorama for gauge 1 worth seeing. Grass and plants have "grown" quite fast. But before that I had another idea.

In the fifth part of the building report the plumbing work on the roof of the small locomotive shed will be completed. In addition, two realistic-looking puddles are created with the simplest of means.

Even an engine shed covered with tar paper in 1:32 scale should have gutters. Another challenge for the occasional handyman...

A diesel locomotive needs fuel from time to time. So a small filling station is integrated into the gauge 1 diorama. This also increases the play value.

After the positioning test and three glued-on walls, literally basic work is carried out in the engine shed. Parts of the interior fittings are also made. Inspired by imagination, a useful workshop utensil is created, which I have never seen in any model before.

A small chipboard, a started and a finished kit and a piece of track. This gave rise to the idea of developing a diorama that provides plenty of activity and fun even during the building stage. While doing handicrafts, it quickly became clear that once you started, the ideas develop by themselves. Perhaps also with you, dear readers.

It is much work to cover a roof with model tiles. But the effort is worth it if you strive for the highest model-making quality.
