If it is in fact based on the enginehouse in that picture. It is the Milwaukee Tacoma, WA enginehouse.

Here's a few more pictures...

Well, here's hoping it has more than 3 or 4 windows down the side by the time they finish compressing it.

My bad, they do tell us how big it is when they are done with it - 130 scale feet- so it might just fit that ABA unit shown in one of your photos.

Nice. probably a fair amount of bashing oppurtunities too. Good job Walthers.

I like it!

[basementcalling]

$60? Wow.

[jmlaboda]

Nice.  Wonder if it can be widened to three stalls?  Will be watching to see how this turns out... hope that they can do a bit better rendering on the brick than they have done in the past.

Wondering if that was one of those standard diesel shops that EMD designed for use.

[Ed Kapuscinski]

I see lots of possibilties for re-use in that.

I don't care about a diesel engine house, but I DO care about industrial buildings.

Too bad a realistically sized building will probably be $120 by the time you're done getting enough of them.

A $60 freight car would seem outrageous but the building must have 10x more tooling...   What am I missing???

Will be very cool if it is actually a replica of the whole engine house, including the shop protrusions on the right-hand side, and not tidied up to basically just the stalls like the left-hand wall; and, as mentioned, able to hold a minimum of four unit lash-ups of SDs.
