It’s been more than a month since I’ve posted any photos of my in-progress model of the Niagara St. Catharines & Toronto Railway car barn that once occupied a city block on Welland Avenue in St. Catharines. But I have been busy.
As the lead photo shows, I’m almost finished with the walls. I’ve scratch-built several sets of doors and everything has been painted and weathered. I have a couple of touch-ups to do, and then I can start glazing the windows. Still to come: a floor, a roof, a bunch of skylights, and overhead wires inside the structure. Meantime, I’ve painted all the rails so my track is now ready for ballast.
Now that the car barn is well underway, that mocked-up sand house is starting to bug me. I think it’s time to start building that, too…

This is really starting to take shape, Trevor. Kudos for the speed and quality of your modelling.

Thanks Jim. I’m enjoying the project so that’s motivating me. BTW, that’s your ex LE&N motor peeking out the door at right. I extensively redetailed it and painted it as NS&T 21.

The pilasters are nicely done. I’m curious what approach you took – I’ll have a look around the blog!

Thanks. I haven’t shared many details of the construction on the blog because I’m working on an article to submit to RMC. I’ll explain the construction in detail in that.

That’s looking really nice. I need to get back at working on walls on buildings for my layout too. Seeing your progress is making me antsy at my own lack of progress again the past few weeks! Good to have friends doing stuff to help keep us motivated!

You motivate me frequently enough. I’m glad I can return the favour.
