Interchange Yard Part 1
Yard tower, crew room and parking lot.
Locomotive service facility. The facility still serves steam and diesel locomotives. D&D Steel still uses steam locomotive in parts of its operations, but as these locomotives have major breakdowns, they are being replaced with diesels.
The small area under the stationary crane is where KV&O built their cars, until a building for building new cars was built. Now it is used to unload part and supplies. Rumor is the stationary crane will be torn down and a new over head traveling crane will be built.
Locomotive and cars shops. Here Locomotives are rebuilt and new cars are build or repaired. Looks like beside the shops a German BR52 locomotive has arrived. This will be rebuild and ran on the KV&O
Shot from the top of the coaling tower. On the right the yard tower crew room the walkway leads to the scale house and pass that is the locomotive and cars shops

Boiler House Part 2
After reworking and adding stack and a few other detail parts, these were then painted a brown color. Still a few odd and end details to do but it is coming a long pretty nicely.

Power Car Part 3
Added a fence around the car to protect the transformers and electric wire from vandals. The fence was built using wedding veil mesh and florist wire. Still looking for a good transformer to use. Probably will end up scratch building one for the car.
Helium Building Part 2
After a good look at the helium building after a little accident I reworked the roof, added a roof over the steps and a added few additional details. Next, just needs to be repaint it.
