Okay , it is soccer season and school just started for my kids, 4th grade and 10th grade. I have decided to work as disjointed as possible, so while children bathed I sneak out to garage and worked a bit on my freight depot. Walls, no big deal, all DPM sections, the loading dock is what I have had fun with, made it in under 2 hours, 100% scratch built, I stained the front supports last night and assembled the supports, tonight I did the rear supports and glued it all together. As always, thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions- all forms of converstion are welcome.

I think this is awesome man. Great use of color and weathering that building up is going to make this look sweet. I really like the idea of the DPM sections with scratchbuilt dock. The DPM stuff alone just isn't ever enough to satisfy a realistic scene. Thanks for posting this I think it will look great! (and already does!)

That is definitely a creative approach to the lighting. I suppose that does also give you a good support structure for mounting inside the structure though. Might just have to steal that one Progress looks really good! How big is that structure (length wise) Looks impressive.

Thank you for the kind words guys.
And to answer Mike this is about 27 inches long. 6 inches deep on one end and 3 inches deep on the other. All DPM sections, completing lighting for interior, dock is scale strip base (stained before cutting and assembly) decking is prescribed plan sheets. Two or three of the warehouse doors will be open with some details inside.
Btw Mike how far back on the burners is the steeple cab

LOL i was wondering when someone would ask about that again. Unfortunately I havent done any modeling since we moved last september. I have been working on my trackplan for the new layout but thats about all I've had time for. (turns out new babys take up a lot of time. who knew). Hopefully this summer things calm down a little and i have time for modeling again.

Trains are a blast, but enjoying that baby is certainly more fulfilling, you will squeeze in time here and there, but your hands will likely be fairly full for the next year or three, lol.
