Construction of Railway

I have long had an idea where I would make my railway.

There was only a couple of problems with laying track in the backyard. In the rear corner angle was greater than 90o, and there was no room for the 5meter radius track I had made, so I had to go down to the 4-meter radius. At the same time I need a place to keep various gardening tools, there should in some ways be room for a shed.
To make it easier, I decided to make a terrace with tiles.

There is dug 10 cm topsoil so there is room for sand  (3m2).
 Bert og Andreas juggle with tiles.
And 3 weeks later (delivery time, sigh), I started on my tool shed, with rail passage.
 Floor boards are cut so the rails descends to the floor.
There are a lot of nails in the floor (too many when I read the drawing)
 The walls come up one by one, it is not smart with such a window?
Then comes the roof. Unfortunately, it is slightly offset between the boards of these two modules, but I can live with it. And then there comes the roofing felt.
Note stick right in the picture. it sits on an iron peg which denotes the center of the curve.
The track must come out on the other side,
so I reinforced the wall with plywood which I glued on from inside.
 When I measured up to the hole I found out that the window came too close,
so I moved up two boards.
A peep into the shed where my car brake is on track.
The first part of the task was performed with 4 holes in the top corners. and then it was "just" to get started with the saw. Afterwards I machined
2 cm away from clothing boards so the doors will close better.  
It was not just to find some boards in the same width as those
which was used in the shed, so I took some that were slightly wider. 6 lengths
were combined mounted up on a plywood plate that fit into the hole in the wall.		 The boards were then cut to size so they fit, and I have machined a channel to the hinges so they came level with the shed wall.
