I believe there are about six of those in one kit, small ones also, don't recall off hand.

Frank,For clarification both Bud's Trucking and  Lauston Shipping background buildings has two dock doors and bellows for both doors. The kits does include extra walls for extending the distance between the dock doors.Lauston Shipping includes optional walls with window openings.

These are excellent kits for small ISL that uses structures along the backdrop. I like them due to their length with two car spots or you can opt for one dock door.I use two doors and a storage silo for unloading a covered hopper or tank car for three car spots plus a off spot.

Marion,

I picked up the ones in the pic', from a Walthers cornerstone kit that was on sale. A Lauston Shipping and Lakeville Warehouse....they both were half off and I only bought them for all the parts that are in them, to use on other projects. All kinds of railroad doors, dock doors, etc. etc. I believe there are about six of those in one kit, small ones also, don't recall off hand.

Take Care! Big Smile

First,I believe you mean dock door bellows not seals which can be easily made by using thin Evergreen ABS plastic strips. I am not aware of any commercially made bellows.

Shipping doors is offered by Pikestuff.

Loading dock doors and seals

I'm looking for warehouse loading dock doors and seals. Can anyone offer any assistance? They can either be ready made or instruction for making from scratch.

Thank you ahead of time.
