Nice to have something unique on the layout, and this has been changed up a lot.  I'm pleased you have added the supports to the side jut out.  Looking forward to see them and the whole complex installed on your layout.  Also pleased to see the scuppers and downpipes added at the back.

Cheers, Mark.

Hello Mark, thanks for taking the time to look at my build and for the nice comments.

Hello Matt, I had a lot of fun with this build. Once I got going with the add-ons, it just seemed to keep on growing.

The build has been placed on my layout. Here are a few pictures.

Here's a drone view.

A closer to ground level view. I had some fun with the sign over the entrance road.

A closer look at the siding area. I made the swinging gate from some brass wire that I had in my stash.

Most of the details came from Bar Mills- the forklift, the pallets and the fencing.

I'm pleased with the wood support under the large right side bumpout.

I had a lot of fun with this Downtown Deco kit and the scratch built additions. I wanted to make my version of this kit a little different and I think that I accomplished my goal. Well, that's it for this one. Now it's on to the next one.

That looks great, and the additions look 'natural'

Nice.  I like how the fencing sets it apart from the other structures in the area.  Great work!

Hello Dave, thanks for the kind words. I was attempting to make a kit made to look closed and abandoned look like an active business. The additions covered up the boarded up window and door openings. I'm glad that you like them.

Hello Jeff, I'm glad that you like the fencing. I wanted a defined yard area for this business and the Bar Mills chain link and wood fencing made it easy and look good. Thanks for looking in.
