I have some real estate set aside for a freight loading platform. I'm going to use the FOS Juniper Freight House for the build. Here are the obligatory start photos.

This will be a quick build and I won't be spending a lot of time covering all aspects of the build. This will be a PostalKarl type build. Progress photos and a little narrative. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

On Doug's pilot model, he used Polly Scale Dark Green for the structure. Sine I used a green on Varick's Freight, I wanted to use another color. I wanted a color that will be very easily weathered since it is located next to the tracks and near lots of stream.
I considered, Floquil Foundation, Mud, Depot Buff and Earth. I considered an equal number of grays and a few browns.
I decided on using Tamiya Desert Yellow acrylic paint. Actually, the yellow is more like the Floquil Mud and Depot Buff.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-220716153741.jpeg)
Yes, you do see that I have water base acrylic paint and a bottle of Testors Lacquer Thinner. I've discovered that the Tamiya paints can be thinned with Testors Thinner.
NOTE: I dip the brush in the Tamiya paint and apply it to the wall. I then dip the brush in the thinner and "spread" the paint. It works great but it does thin the paint so you need to limit the amount of thinner. It almost turns the paint into a stain. Interestingly, the thinner won't clean the paint from the brush. I still used warm soapy for that.
And here we have the painted structure with nail holes and a few signs. No A&I has been applied at this time in the build.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-220716153754.jpeg)
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-220716153806.jpeg)
Continued in a few.
The instructions mention that the loading platform needs to be adjusted so it fits the track.
I used two posts through the platform base and leveled it to fit the side of a boxcar. I then measured the posts and cut 16 of equal length.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-220716153821.jpeg)
The 16 posts were glued to the base in the holes provided on the platform base.
The kit provides a laser cut platform base that represents 2X12 boards.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-220716153845.jpeg)
i wanted to create more work for myself and decided to use 2X12 HO scale strip wood. I placed the structure on the platform and marked with a pencil where the 2X12's fit against the wall.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-220716153832.jpeg)
More in a few since it is now past Diet Pepsi time.
I stained five pieces of 2X12 HO strip wood with Hunterline's Cordovan Brown Weathering Mix. When the
A&I was dry I glued the strip wood directly to the platform base and NOT the laser cut simulated wood.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-220716153858.jpeg)
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-220716153911.jpeg)
I did the same with the platform ramp by gluing the 2X12's directly to the ramp.
More in a few.
Here is a look at where it will be and how it looks up to now.

Not much to report today. I added the trim board flush with the platform. It was painted the same Desert Yellow prior to adding it.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-230716201606.jpeg)
I decided to add some cross bracing to the support posts. I stained a few pieces of 2X6 strip wood with the Cordovan Brown weathering mix from Hunterline. The model has the post but not the cross bracing.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-230716201623.jpeg)
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-230716201635.jpeg)
There is nothing wrong with the posts without the bracing but I just think it looks better.

I was talking to one of the SBG's(Greg DeMayo) about the roof and I mentioned I was going to follow the kit and use the rolled roofing. He suggested using the corrugated roofing material. I instantly agreed this would be a better choice for my structure.
I got the Campbell corrugated roofing panels and cut them to 3 HO scale feet in width. I dind't have any Transfer Tape but I found this at Hobby Lobby.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-240716183250.jpeg)
It worked fine. I laid three pieces of tape on the roof and started to add the corrugated panels.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-240716183238.jpeg)
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-240716183302.jpeg)
I painted the panels with Floquil SP Light Gray and set the roof to the side to dry. Here is how it looks without weathering.
The corrugated panels really change the appearance of the structure as did the support cross bracing.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-240716183317.jpeg)
Continued in a few.
I then worked on the loading dock support posts and trim boards.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-240716183328.jpeg)
The trim boards are thick paper so I glued two 10X10 HO scale strip wood pieces to the back of the trim board.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-240716183340.jpeg)
I then glued this section to the platform base and the side of the structure.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-240716183355.jpeg)
More to follow.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-240716183412.jpeg)
I neglected to mention that I used Floquil Antique White and dry brushed it on the walls, support posts and trim boards. I then added another application of weathering mix, Hunterline's Light Gray.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-240716183427.jpeg)

Glad to be of help Tom.....The roof looks much better with the corrugated roofing.
In the real world roll roofing is generally only used on the most temporary structures, especially down South.
The sun leaches out the asphalt binder in the felt and it begins to deteriorate at a very rapid rate. Once the asphalt is gone so is the waterproofing characteristics of the material. It's a short term solution to keep the rain out.
A great many kits put out by the kit manufacturers provide us with roll roofing. This type of roofing material is not appropriate for the type of structures their kits represent. A masonry building that is capable of lasting for decades or even centuries will not have a roof that has a life span measured in months.
From a business perspective, I can understand why they do this. The more money invested in the materials in the kit, the smaller the profit margin from the sale of the kit. Since there is an upper limit to the final sale price of the kit, they have to make choices in what they include.
If the kit manufacturer has included great castings or well milled and cut wood and other great goodies in his kit, it is a simple matter to purchase an appropriate roofing material for a structure.
There are a great variety of metal, asphalt or wood shingle roofing material available now, so have fun experimenting with a few.

What? OOOOOOOPS!
I used PanPastel Artists Pastels to weather the corrugated roof panels.
I started by stippling Red Iron Oxide Shade in the location shown below.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-260716170039.jpeg)
I did the same for the top of the top panels but only did this in a random pattern. I then used a 1/2" brush to "pull" the pastels down. Verticlally only and never horizontally.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-260716170051.jpeg)
I then used the same stippling pattern for the following colors. I applied them one at a time and "pulled" the pastels down. After the Red Iron Oxide I used Burnt Sienna followed by Burnt Sienna Shade, followed by Burnt Sienna Extra Dark, followed by Raw Unber. All those in that order.The final coat was Paynes Gray Tint.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-260716170104.jpeg)
Continued in a few.
After weathering the roof, I realized I neglected to add the roof stack. I drilled a suitable hole in the roof and super glued the stack to the roof.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-260716170127.jpeg)
I then painted the stack, in place on the roof, with Floquil Grimy Black. I let the paint act as the tar pitch around the stack.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-260716170138.jpeg)
While the stack was still wet with paint, I dipped a brush in some Bragdon Burnt Sienna and painted the chalk on the stack. This gives a nice "flaky" rust look to the stack.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-260716170149.jpeg)
Back in a few. Diet Pepsi time.
The model is finished. This was a fun build and a great kit from Doug Fosscale. There was nothing difficult about the build even though I added the cross bracing, the corrugated roofing panels and the individual 2X8's for the platform and ramp. The instructions, in my opinion, were clear and unambiguous with B&W photos to explain/show how a piece fits.
The freight house just looks like it belongs on the Atlantic and Southern RR.
Thanks for following along on the journey.

I am late into this build of yours, you have taken a very basic and plain structure and improved on it. I always like to see a structure modified opposed to being built as a clone. Nicely done once again.
One question, is this an A&S building or, is it a leased freight dock and storage by an outside customer?

Good to see you and thank you for the compliment. I like to change kits as well so that they are some what different than what everyone else has.
At present, there is no name for the freight house. It won't be Juniper. A local cartel leased the space/real estate from the President of the Atlantic and Southern RR. It is unknown what will actually be shipped and received here. Written in the contract is a paragraph specifically giving the A&S RR. joint use of the freight house when necessary.
The cartel would not agree to have the freight house painted in the A&S RR colors of white with green trim.

Tom,
I am late into this build of yours, you have taken a very basic and plain structure and improved on it. I always like to see a structure modified opposed to being built as a clone. Nicely done once again.
One question, is this an A&S building or, is it a leased freight dock and storage by an outside customer?
Bob
Bob,
Good to see you and thank you for the compliment. I like to change kits as well so that they are some what different than what everyone else has.
At present, there is no name for the freight house. It won't be Juniper. A local cartel leased the space/real estate from the President of the Atlantic and Southern RR. It is unknown what will actually be shipped and received here. Written in the contract is a paragraph specifically giving the A&S RR. joint use of the freight house when necessary.
The cartel would not agree to have the freight house painted in the A&S RR colors of white with green trim.
Tom ;D
Pepsi...by chance?
Donato,
Thanks for stopping by. You guessed it, Diet Pepsi most definitely must be the contraband.
Tom ;D

A cartel, that sounds so .... Miami Vice. Good story.

Bob,
One picks up a few terms here and there during 30+ years in law enforcement. However; Donato guessed the contraband will probably be cases of Diet Pepsi. He probably isn't wrong.
Tom ;D
