But what I'd like to see is a large wooden factory or other industrial building.

It seems that wooden industrial buildings are hard to come by.

This is the best I could do:

Show me something else that is yellow, or orangish-yellow.

Wayne: "I like brick buildings, so please show us some more bricks."

General Industries occupies the southeast corner of the BRVRR layout. It is one of Walthers background buildings set on the diagonal with foam board sides and roof. It is modeled on a local industry that burned down a few years ago, after serving various industries for nearly 100 years.

More brick or concrete block buildings, please.

Show us a non-rail-served industry on your layout, please.

Cambohn Wheel Manufacturing, the brick building on the left, does not have a siding. They produce a very low volume of product and do not ship or receive by rail.

Show me something brick.

Well, how's about a Reading boxcar.  When I saw this Champ Decal set, I hadda have it even though I mostly have western stuff.  The boxcar is from Front Range (I miss that company and the variety of boxcars they had.)

In the early hours of the night, one of PRR's Blue Ribbon Fleet pauses for a station stop long enough to get a glimpse of the Railway Mail clerks working the RPO:
