Good looking loading dock, Jeff.  That back ramp is a nice addition.

Jeff, great job building this.
You've managed to create a lot of interesting details in this small dock.
Well done.

Howdy Jeff, 

The dock and ramp look fantastic. The dock is believable and looks realistic.  Mighty fine work.

Have fun,

Jeff,

Great subject, excellent work and a fine structure to boot, especially from a real-life carpenter.

My downfall is, I have to lock my train room door, try to keep my wife out while I build HO scale structures.
Dag-nabbit, she has been requesting me to use my skills to build in real-life rather than models...

Thanks for sharing, well done.

Jeff great job on the scratch build! Really like all the details you've added and yes the rafter tails adds a lot to the look of the structure.

Hello Rich, thank you for the kind words. I have a deal with my better half- I always do a few things on the "honey-do" list before I disappear into the train room for a while.

Hello Larry, rafter tails are always a tedious detail to add to a structure, but they are always worth the effort when viewing the finished product.
