·Hi all, I have been building these for about a year and would like more people to see them. The walls are cast 1/2" thick in resin and know you won't have to worry about the weather with them. I plan to make other building with the brick wall mold.
After reading older postings and people were talking about Randy at Downtown Deco, I talked with him about this project as I was building the master pattern. I have modeled in the old brick pattern where every 7th row is a half brick and this repeats all the way up the wall. I have made 6 round houses that range from 9 stalls to 4 stalls. I sell a 2 stall engine house and start my round houses with 3 stalls. You can add more stalls if the need is their. I build every round house here before I ship it out, that way I can make sure everything fits before you get. These buildings are big, the wall lenght is 42" long and a 9 stall is over 9' across at the back.
The master took me about 5 week to make. I laid every brick by hand and made it look old some are broken and the rows show signs of settling.
I built the round House as well as the water tower for Tom Miller's layout for those of you that have see pictures in the May/ June and the July/Aug Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazett. I have made changes to the structure since I made Tom's by adding pilasters on the ends of the walls and 3 through the middle at each step. It add a shadow effect and breaks up the long flat wall. The engine house is just 2 of the outside walls with a fixed width. I also make a stagger stall engine house too.
One thing I forgot to mention is that both the round house and the engine house are for the most part cast in resin. The only thing not resin are the under roof supports, and the support beams between each stall everything else is resin cast, the staggered stall in the engine house is made out of plywood. The only thing that I don't make here is the metal hinge, I out source that.
Again thanks for looking and would like to hear what you think about the buildings you can see more at mcwwerks.com, Joe
