During a nice working day, our roundhouse saw an important phase of its construction materialized: the opening of its final inner volume.
Les fermetures étant opérationnelles, il devenait possible de déplacer les tôles qui formaient la cloison provisoire pour les utiliser sur l'arrière du bâtiment.
All the doors being operational, it was then possible to move the steel sheets thar formed the temporary wall to use them for the backside of the building.

Good preparation and motivated members allowed the transfert to be made quite rapidly, the place is secured.

Even the side door has been reused, it was foreseen for long.

Inside, the difference is spectacular for those only knowing the volume of the first three bays.

The temporary wooden structure of the steel wall has been taken away and gives way to a general view on the place's potential. Below: track 7, still incomplete, interrupted by the axle lifting pit.

Of course the place is still encumbered by work stuff but we already guess working on the locos will be easier as there is much more room between the machines than in the depot.

View of the new section from the former one: tracks 7 and 8 and the "infra" shed.

Fixtures of the track 8 rails were cemented previously, so we could tighten them and the 080 Brigadelok waiting outside finally made its entry into the locomotives pantheon (there are very few narrow gauges locos with the honor to be parked in a roundhouse these days).

An interesting view of a row of machines that could show a bit more with some manoeuvres. Here, the 080 Romania on the foreground, followed by the 040 Touraine, the Diesel O&K tractor and the 080 Brigadelok ex-Creusot.

The building is still far from being completed but this symbolic step was a very pleasant one to pass.
