Prototype photo of the Bluffs MOW shed.  Unfortunately, I didn't have room to model the grounded ex-Chessie PS-1 behind it.

Scratchbuilt MOW shed looking NW.  Electrical box is from SS Ltd., while the screen over the window is Scale Scenics #3500 aluminum micro mesh.  Bulk of the structure is Evergreen stock, with the walls scribed to represent the prototype's panels.  The roof ribs were cut from 1/16" C-channel.

MOW shed looking SW.  Window is a modified Grandt Line item, and electrical conduit head is a modified P2K MU receptacle.  I plan to paint and weather this in the coming week, followed by blending it and the turntable pit (foreground) into the surrounding scenery.

Hopefully this view gives a better idea of why I chose the C-channel for the roof ribs. I realize these are just L-shaped, but I compromised to allow more surface area when attaching them.
