Howdy Dave,

The foundation looks perfect.  It adds even more realism to the warehouse.  The freight door framing sets off the doors.  Nice inclusion of the flat car next to a door.

Have fun,

I used the flat car to check the door height.  Obviously, I can't see through a boxcar    First, though, I verified that flat car's floor height matched my boxcars.  (That flat is definitely a 'foobie', it's too wide among other things.  But that makes it a good clearance car. )

Roofing day:

It's just set into position.  I need to glue the roof support bracing (gable-shaped) and add the ridgepole.

Great work Dave, neat addition to the scene.....

[deemery]

I assembled the roof (adding the interior gable braces), added the open doors, the ridgepole, and a bit of light grey mortar wash on the brick foundation.

I'll dig out some crates and cartons to add inside, but the warehouse is basically done.

There's still stuff to add to the scene, including covered walkways, the coal bin in front of the boilerhouse, the loading dock for raw materials (lumber, etc), and of course scenery.  Another month or two, this would be ready for the winter challenge...

Howdy Dave,

The waterhouse looks great and complements the scene.  Nice work on the shingles. The doors and brick wash add a lot to the structure.  

What's next?

Have fun,

Besides the details I mentioned above, I need to actually install the track.  Right now that's just floating in place. I also need to install the switch machine underneath the turnout just off the photo to the left connecting this spur to the main line.
