Thanks, guys. This is the last major structure that I needed to build for my ALCOA industrial section of the layout, so I'm now moving on to working out the final arrangement of the structures in the area and will then start laying the track. Will post some progress pics when I get them all situated.

Also, Aggro - those UP and Railbox cars are beautiful. Great job!

I wanted another building flat for my ALCOA industrial area, so wanted to make it look a little more industrial. So that meant making it bigger, so I used the walls to double the size of the kit by leaving the back open. Also, I didn't like the red brick look for a heavy industry look, so painted them almond color. I added several extra details, including illumination, since I like taking night shots. I also used some of the Rusty Stumps corrugated tin for the overhang. Here's the pics:


















Simply amazing, well done. It looks great in that color!

Wow Carl, your IC looks real cool. I'm hoping to get a loco similar to that in the YN3 (CSX Dark Future) paint.

I love it when the weekend starts on Friday. Now I know what ditch lights are. I have a FM with two tiny (it's N scale) on the top corners. Do those have a name - running lights ? or what.

Aggro ... I had to look twice. The grafitti makes this look so o o o o realistic.

Good start to the weekend. Now, I'm off to work [banghead]
