Howdy Jim,

The whole facility looks fantastic, but the pickle tanks are amazing.  The detail is incredible.  It's a shame that it is hidden in the structure.

Have fun,

Jim, it's amazing what can be made by 3D printing.
Great looking models.

Thanks Mike and Rick;

So today I was able to complete the electric lighting. I designed the posts hollow so that the wall lighting would run inside the posts. I draped the wiring on the ceiling lights as it would look. in 1912. The outer parts of the buildings are done except for detailing and signage. So here is how the structures look put together and with the interior in front and buildings behind. I still need to complete the interior for the packing room (middle) and a little more for the office building. Interior signage also needed for all three. Looks like only one building has a light leak easy to fix. Next up all the plumbing and platforms needed for when the train arrives!
