Bump!  Prod!
It's been almost 9 days.   
I've been waiting to see the sliding doors on the woodworking shop.   
TIA

Rich,
Actually had them done for awhile, been working on roofs.....the most time consuming part of any build, still have sticky fingers from the Campbell's shingles...will have an update tomorrow afternoon, with some new pics.

Hi Loren:

It's coming along nicely as usual. Keep the photos coming.

Excellent.

I have this kit. Initially I thought I would build it and scatter sections of it around my switching layout. Your build has me thinking I should scratch-build it. I started yesterday by staining the wood for the Woodworking Shop. I have a couple Bollinger-Edgerly cast doors but might use some Rusty Stumps doors instead.

I'm assuming the footings for the shop are the short ones from Bollinger-Edgerly. Yes, no, maybe so?

PS the  Craftsmart Barnwood stain is a great tip. I now have probably a lifetime supply

Rich,
Glad to have been a deciding factor for you. The footings I actually cut from bass wood, with a template I made. I was going to spend a fortune for cast ones. This way it was $1.29.
As far as the doors....Come on build your own........make it a real scratch build (minus the windows, and etc...)

Back again all, did not realize how long it has been since my last post. Here are some progress shots. Been working on roofs. There is also a pic in there for Rich of the freight door. The last pic is of a nice Rusty Rails casting I had bought awhile back, and needed to fill a space in the woodshop. Till next time, Thanks for taking a look...

Okay I'll take your challenge. I'm pretty sure I can make one of these doors, only I'll use 2x8s.   

BTW nice work Loren.
