Beautiful buildings there Wayne!! Absolutely beautiful!

Any chance of posting a shot of that other industry you have on your layout in the background of your mainline pic????

With handywork like that, you have to share it with the world!!

Hi!

Like many of the previous posters alluded to, the DPM structures require some work to make them fit properly, but the end result can be really nice.  They are OK in my book, but I prefer other manufacturers.

Thanks, 667CDP.  I'm guessing that you're referring to this one:

 

I have lots more pictures of GERN Industries, but rather than hijack this thread, here's a Link to the others.

I'd second a lot of people in that DPM kits are good for kitbashing. A word of warning though, their chimneys are just not really as good as they could be.Sad [:(] (meaning the ones on urban structures, their factory ones are fine)

P.S. Nice buildings, nbrodar!

Do it again, you still haven't got it right! I treat you as a model railroader not because you are a model railroader, but because I am a model railroader
