Testing the engine shop

My partly build mock up of the CFNR locoshop was test fitted on the layout today. I immediately found I grossly underestimated the size of it, and how it would fit on the layout. Part of my problem is the sloped roof I'm dealing with, so I can't move the track at the rear further otherwise the trains will hit the sloping sky back drop.
So, I'm now looking how I can make some small changes, to fit the shop properly. Another lesson learned, don't start scenery until you know how everything will fit. (Lucky I hadn't applied any scenery on this section yet. )
