In this episode, Gerry Leone tackles another forgotten structure that will now fit right into his efforts to complete the classification yard and locomotive servicing area on his HO scale (1:87.1) Bona Vista model railroad. The focus of his attention is a previously assembled three-stall roundhouse that’s ripe for interior illumination and additional details. As we’ve come to expect from our beloved host and NMRA Master Model Railroader® there are plenty of tips, tricks, and yes, failures to following here!
