The PennLUG Roundhouse and Locomotive Service Terminal A collaborative build by Cale Leiphart, Nate Brill, and Glenn Holland I haven't unveiled many finished models of late. I have been building though, I've been building big. 2014 was all about me finishing my Red Lion project. But 2015 brought an equally large and ambitious project. One I have have been dreaming of for years. Unlike Red Lion though this was no solo adventure. This was a collaborative build for my club, PennLUG. Specifically three of us train builders in the club, Nate Brill, Glenn Holland and myself. I present to you the PennLUG Roundhouse and Locomotive Service Terminal. This was a really fun build, and fills a big hole in our rail yard. It's not just a stunning backdrop to view our locomotives against, but is packed with little details that bring the whole area to life. Countless long hours, an untold amount of parts, and a lot of love has gone into this project. This has been a very special project for us. It's a tribute to our love of trains, and LEGO, as well as monument to our insanity. IMG_9846 by Cale Leiphart, on Flickr IMG_9850 by Cale Leiphart, on Flickr Oh yeah. We also lit the roundhouse up.

We have a full engine service terminal. IMG_9893 by Cale Leiphart, on Flickr Also lighted. IMG_9564 by Cale Leiphart, on Flickr It's taken me a while to upload photos of this. There were a lot of photos to go through and I get really picky over details so it took me some time to get just the right ones sorted out and edited. It was one of the most fun and challenging projects I've been a part of. I was a joy collaborating with my friends, fellow LEGO train builders and fellow club members, Nate Brill and Glenn Holland to create this part of our layout. IMG_9717 by Cale Leiphart, on Flickr There are far too many details to capture here in the photos I've shown. I'll be working on photographing more in the future. I hope you enjoy seeing this project. And as always I'm happy to here your comments and answer any questions. The full gallery can be found here. PennLUG Roundhouse There are a lot of photos here in this set. With something this big there is a lot to cover and a lot of small details to capture. I hope you take the time to view them and get the full scope of this creation. Cale
