Like many across North America, specifically Canada for me, I am working from home and self isolating for a couple of weeks. That means working on the layout. I have a few projects on the go, with the biggest detailing the engine facility. I can’t display as many engines as I did when I lived in northern Manitoba, but I have room for a few. It has been plane Jane since the track and buildings were in place a year ago. Additions are ground cover, refuelling area and general junk. Still some ballasting to complete and people to put around, otherwise it looks like a working facility.

Looks great

Really great work!  I love the looks of this, and you also did a really nice job fitting a significant facility into what appears to be a reasonable space.

Light grey

The concrete floor that looks white is actually light grey with no oil stains like the new area. I will touch that up when I get the lights into that blue building.

Looks great, I like that

Looks great, I like that style. I'm planning on something similar with a three stall roundhouse and a two stall diesel shop (the one from SRMW). Is that a 90' turntable?
