That storage warehouse looks a lot like Capt C's scratched warehouse

and the co-op elevator looks like Brians grain elevator.

Maybe they can help with some general dimensions[8D]

I have both the grain elevator and warehouse. The grain elevator dimensions are 12 1/2" wide, because of the entrance section, 10 7/8" long and 30 3/4" high. The warehouse is19 1/2" long, 7 3/4" wide and 13" high.

I'm currently detailing the warehouse. Both loading platforms are receiving wood flooring, cut for sheets of dollhouse oak flooring. The interior will have a floor, using a lucite sheet, covered with dollhouse walnut flooring, which sort of gives it an aged wood look. The inside walls were covered with lucite, to give it a smooth finish, and I will glue on balsa wood sheets over the lucite and stain and weather the balsa wood. Then I will furni***he inside with crates, benches, people, etc.
