Over the last couple of weeks I have been assembling the Faller B-160 engine shed 'Duderstadt'.
This was new in box of the kit B-160 which appears to have also been sold as Faller 194160 and 120160.

First stage of assembly, I decided on a couple of modifications:

First was to remove the plastic base where the track is laid. This allows me to remove the shed anytime without the track holding it down.

Second was to decide on the mortar colour for the bricks. The bricks come as a yellow colour which I was OK with. I had planned to go with white mortar but decided on a medium grey.
This meant painting all of the brick wall pieces first with the grey, then wiping the paint from the surface to leave the paint only in the cracks (mortar) and before the wood framing was glued on.

Here we see the mortar paint. The grey is not as subtle as I would have liked (maybe I should have gone white) or maybe too much remained on the brick surface.
Either way its too late now and it will still look good once the panelling is done and the kit finished.



Here you can easily see the track sections removed from the base. It was a pain to do and made assembly a bit more difficult, but worth it.




Assembly continues, with the rear areas and the doors.




The kit is now finished. I glued magnets to help hold the roof down while still being removable. Servos will be installed later to control the doors.




The kit is now painted/weathered. Most work was done with an airbrush. I decided to match the vents with my roundhouse shed, so those were painted white.
I did a complete cover spray of clear lacquer to remove the plastic shine with a flat finish, since I was happy with the colours and didn't paint (which would give it the flat finish)
Various shades of red/brown, earth and black tones used and some dry brushing on the stone base, doors and panelling. Used some wash on the ceiling for the gutters.
