[@aztraingranny7015]

I'm on my way! Oh wait, I'm n-scale. Sigh . . .

[@lionellance]

Wow... Really good job !! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.. Lance 🚂👍👍👍

[@sparky107107]

thanks Lance , could you tell in the video that I did the white wash to it ,, and did you like it ,, or is it just me that thought it really high lights the brick ?

[@harryfaber]

Looks like a good piece of architecture.

[@sparky107107]

thank you , it sure will be a eye catcher on the layout ,, lol ,, has to be it is huge

[@JamesWalkinginNewYork]

awesome job, fun to build

[@dacuzzz]

2 thumbs up sparky... well done.. looking forward to the next update.. vinny

[@sparky107107]

might be a week or 2 for the next video , have to really take my time , once I cut into the layout , that's where it has to go ,, no turning back then

[@trainroomgary]

Cool project. Makes for a large round house. Gary

[@sparky107107]

ya I didn't think it was that big , until after I built it , just hope it fits through the door into the basement now

[@MMRails]

Great build. Looks really good. I'll send you another 3 stalls. They come "weathered" lol.

[@sparky107107]

the six I have take up a lot of room , but I like it , mmmm 3 more stalls I might have to put them at the other end of the layout ,, my address was in one of my videos ,, send away ,,,, I know your kidding ,, thanks for watching

[@csxmad]

Wow! great job, looks really good and now for the fun part TURNTABLE. cheers Robert

[@sparky107107]

that should be the next video , might take a week or two , but it's coming

[@howarth004]

Nice project David , you look to done a fine job in spite of having to read Instructions and being careful with the glue ...Dave

[@sparky107107]

thing was , I was not careful with the glue , so the doors were a real chore to install ,, I hope it helps others with this kit

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

I need one of those on my layout. Thanks for the inspiration to do!

[@sparky107107]

the 6 stalls take up about 3 feet by 2 feet , so that might help you in the PLANNING too ,, wow this thing is big

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

My turntable is already in place and I am sure there was originally a round house there, so fitment shouldn't be a problem. Do you think this roundhouse can be built without the floor? The track is already in place on my layout.

[@sparky107107]

that first part I did has the placement for the rails , so I suppose if you made some cuts around that area you could be able to fit in exsisting track , or build it all and cut out the floor from the underside ,with a zip blade , but the build itself starts with the floor and everything is based off of it ,

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Gotcha, and thanks again.

[@jacjac5761]

Alright YOU build a nice roundhouse.

[@sparky107107]

thank you , I am a little new at building kits of any kind , so it did turn out pretty good , I learned a lot putting it together ,, like look ahead to the next part , and take my time ,,, that was a week and a half build

[@jacjac5761]

You doing great take your time!

[@Rarawer]

really great work ! I like the Walthers Roundhouse !

[@sparky107107]

it was a bit of a challenge , being just my second kit build , and adding the extension , well fun

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

Wow, it came out great!

[@sparky107107]

thanks , I don't know how well it shows but the white wash really makes the building pop

[@Building_America]

Outrageous build Sparky!!!! Having a Round House in the yard will really give your layout a prototypical look.

[@TomsTrainsandThings]

Thanks for the suggestion of diluting the paint with more water for the mortar joints. I think I did that some time ago but forgot about it. Guess I should read my own notes. Can't remember a darn thing in my old age. Good Video

[@yrunaked4]

great to see a build series on this, thanks Sparky

[@DaveCoTrains]

Looks awesome man! Nice video, was very fun to watch. Learned a thing or two as well.

[@sparky107107]

that is one thing I going to try and do ,, small things to look out for , when building some of the kits ,, what do you think of the white wash ,, ??

[@DaveCoTrains]

+sparky107107 looks good!

[@hovermotion]

your vids are very good....well made..👍

[@sparky107107]

thanks for the comment ,,

[@2448toyman]

Nice job on your round house Cheers Ron

[@sparky107107]

thanks Ron , was a bit of a challenge , but had to get it done so I can fit the turn table

[@aerobee58]

A nice model to have and looks great on your layout. One I would consider for my layout

[@BA-tq5gf]

looks good! I have to 3 stall roundhouses but not a six stall. good job so far.

[@sparky107107]

do you have it in a video , feel free to share a link to it here

[@BA-tq5gf]

+sparky107107 not yet but its a good idea...

[@LordRusty5]

Hey sparky ... NICE video!

[@chumbo7945]

great video mate looks great are you going to add detail inside as well or maybe latter down the track cheers. Andrew

[@sparky107107]

that will be later down the line , the next step is getting the round table in , up and running

[@tomreynolds9602]

Would have liked to see you installing the doors. It seems it will be a bit tricky when I get to that point.

[@ScottDowneywoundedbear]

Finally started to build couple of the kits your have. lol Who will have them built first, you.Scott

[@sparky107107]

I have seen your collection of kits , do you have the room for all of them ,, lol ,, and that is the question I am asking myself too

[@bnsfcsxbob1526]

Nice job sparky I have the same kit to build but in n scale that should be fun

[@sparky107107]

Csxmad is doing this kit also. But he is going for 12 stalls. Check his build out to

[@sherylbatchelor5303]

I like what you have done. I am painting mine just like your doing, I love the color inside, kinda wondering what the doors that open would look like in black.. Your doing a great job. I’m learning off you and a few other guys. This is my first roundhouse. When my husband saw the color trusses, he loved it. I like when you show or tell of your mistakes, it help us newbeees

[@The20thCenturyLimited]

I just got an old metal 3 stall roundhouse kit. It's going to require a lot of soldering unfortunately lol

[@lukemiller6230]

Is it possible to do all six stalls as the longer stalls

[@sparky107107]

they only give you enough parts to make 1 long stall.

[@FuzionHyperX]

Don’t worry I talk to myself too😭

[@esmeerills6531]

how do u fix the track in the house i'm building the rail shop now

[@jenniferwhite6089]

poor guy, now he is totally lost now with both instructions lol, I am sure that his wife will build it for him lol Sorry big guy we have seen the wonderful work you have done in the past Jennifer White train bug

[@sparky107107]

Nope. That was all me. It really helps when there are pictures to follow along with
