Tom that's coming along nicely. I noticed you seem to like building odd shaped structures but it does add a lot of interest as opposed to a plain old rectangle or square.

Very Nice.  I like that idea of the flower bed.

Tom, with the walls together and the sidewalks positioned, it gives a good idea of how big of an area this will take up.

Looking very nice! Quick question, is this the final placement relative to the tracks behind it?

Larry,

Thank you. I do have a few odd shaped buildings on the layout but it is just happenstance. I do enjoy a challenge so maybe that is the case here. Your comment reminded me that the last 3 out 4 buildings built are definitely odd shaped.

Yannis,

Thank you for the compliment. The track behind this building is not a service track for Horwood Bros.

Rick,

Thanks for stopping by. Yes, it will take up a good amount of space. It will be a great addition to the area.

I have plans for other structures on both sides of this one.
