Karl, Curt, Gregory...
Thanks for all the comments and here's a quick update since we have been away for 2 weeks on this thread...
The creamery now has some white roof trim and other roof details added, brown roof shingles started, several resin vents to show now too, dormers assembled on annex , front and rear loading docks built, truck addition added on far right, a water tank , and ice ramp assembly ready to finish up.  Also added the rest of the clapboard right side structure...Here's three photos to show that progress of the SRMW Kingston Creamery build.

Looks great, Tom. Is that a treadmill in the foreground for the dairy employees that eat too much ice cream?  :)

Paul,
Thanks for checking this build thread.
Only problem found on the Kingston Creamery build was the card was a little short on the truck entry, otherwise no issues.
A new one was made from some extra card template material.

Vince,
No the thread mill is for our candy shop employees but we do purchase the whipping cream from the dairy.
You almost had it correct.

Karl,
Thanks for checking in...it's like your sawmill project, get a little done here and there weekly.
On page 4 of this thread there's a photo of the SRMW Kendall's stone & brick building...
Now we have painted and assembled the two dormers, still needs trim, shingles and installation.
