3DC rolling stock in 3' NG
Make sure to open up the top of the small barrel in the shed and fill it with water. Required for something (tempering, maybe?).
The tools hanging from the wall could easily be done with a texture, most of these things are less than 1 inch thick.
For railroad purposes, you probably won't need the grindstone. A railroad smithy wouldn't be making many blades.
You'll need a bellows somewhere, and also a coal bin.
That drill press would probably be useful in a railroad situation.

OK, fellas, I know what you want...
I guess we'll go full hog on this one.
It'll take me awhile to perfect the textures so, this one will be 'in the shop' for awhile longer. (I've just had a good lesson on 3DC texturing and made a friend from England so, texture applications will be improved in the future.)
Thank you very much, Ben. Great input and, wait till you see what I have done to that barrel. (I'm glad I made those barrels in two parts.)
Thanks, guys, I appreciate all this and if you can think of anything else, please submitt it...

Yup, open windows are going to happen or at least one will.
Need one wall for tools and stuff, now so the window over the work bench will be the only window in this car.
I have been researching bellows and have come onto a pretty cool set up. It's kind of old and bulky but it work.
Pics in a day or two. Am kinda busy building this thing, now.

We have a water tub, a bellows, additional roof supports, and a sooty floor, now.
Got to researchin' black smithy fuel and found that there are 3 woods that burn exceptionally well and are used in place of coal so, I'm going to leave the coal bin out and put in a 'rick'.
Although the coal could be brought in as supplies, I thought the wood could be found on location high in the mountains and used instead.
Polys = 1288 and climbing...
What's the average poly count for rolling stock? Anybody know?
Thanks,

Thanks, I see I have at least 3,000 more polys to go. LOL
Question,
How are you guys makin' small long tubular objects such as truss rods and cables and stuff?
Are these 3 dimensional as a 3 sided or 4 sided tube would be?
A 3 sided 'cable' would be seen from all angles, ya think?
Thanks,

Thanks, Curtis. That was my first guess.
OK, can't resist showin' off so, here's the latest update;
Startin' to add tools and stuff, now.
Another work bench has been build around the 'rick' to help keep all that wood together while rollin' down the track.
Not sure I like the 'tarred' roof. Any suggestions for a flat roof set up?
Comments, suggestions, and criticisms welcomed, guys.

Ben you make a good point. Most shops burn coal but this one burns wood, although the Internet has shown dirt and gravel flooring mostly, I tend to agree that the floor needs a darker soot.
Totally forgot about the seams. LOL
Ken, the only reason I haven't used tin is because, well... Have you ever been in an open shop with a tin roof when it rains? LOLOLOL
You can't even hear yourself think!
Thanks, guys...
