Just a quick update on the first industry for my layout - Southwest Grocery Distribution. This is a large concrete warehouse with three car spots. The entire model is about 42" long and is along the backdrop off the mainline (the mainline on my layout is actually visible staging). The basic assembly is about 90% complete with the final details to be added after painting.
The first door (the largest) is for refers only. The middle door can be either refers or general boxcar. The last door is for boxcars only. This door arrangement should make for some interesting switching and may require off-spotting cars from time to time.
The industry comfortably holds 3 50' - 60' cars with space between them.
This started as the Modern Cold Storage Warehouse from Walthers and I unrolled it into a background building. I had build up a floor and a roof from scraps and Evergreen styrene. I am really happy with how this is going and will be moving on to the painting stage soon.
Looks awesome, I like the roof detail to give it some visual interest.
ReplyDeleteThanks! All the details came with the kit. I will be adding roofing material once the paint is done. Still a few things left to do.
DeleteSo I have seen folks do the tilt up buildings before like this, but always thought something was missing, its the roof details, dud e you nailed it here!
