I also planned for that one special steam train of mine to be in the
Roundhouse. Only issue is that its ALOT longer then two straight tracks. In
turn, I decided to make the entry way and Bay 6 a straight-thru bay so, I can
have my Steamer parked inside if need be. The Beast extends one of the bays
about 2 1/2 times longer then the others. I realize now how big a task this is
going to be. Without a doubt this is a table on its own. Thats actually a good
thing though because it will allow me to submerge the gears and turntable
underneath and not have to raise everything. While its still no where near a
start; more layout of tracks and what the trains look like parked. At least for
the few bays I have setup. Still need to add 6 more bays.

I also did some playing around in the void areas. I think I have a much easier
solution to simulate the appearance of a solid building. In my mind I think it
will look neat too. (Only time will tell). Once I get a module bay done I will
post some more picts.
