I'd like to see a slender N smokestack, 7-8' dia, but going up 100+- scale feet. An old resin kit from Walthers Mercury Shoe Factory had a tall thin smokestack like that only about 60' tho. The old MP factory chimneys were also about that width but again not really long. Certainly there's some modern fabrication method today that can duplicate ones like them.

Was "how about a brick version" about the chimney?  Or were you considering replacing the metal siding parts with brick to make the whole facility brick? 

Big chimneys/smoke stacks  would make an interesting separate item.  I've considered using HO ones in some places, in order to get the size of large urban factory stacks. 

Old East- if the Bergen Laser one is too big for you, you might consider the Walthers chimneys.  They used it in their Machine Shop kit and also had them available separately in 2 packs (I was intending to check if they were identical to the Machine shop one, but they are stored away).  The one on the machine shop scales about 85 feet tall.

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.

No, the entire structure is now engraved with brick (not stone) surface.

Looks good, but once seen in stone, it is now etched in stone in my mind.  :) But I'm sure someone will like the brick version.

Of course, silly of me.  The original was in that red, course stone that is common in the UP of Michigan on older buildings.  Sorry for any confusion I caused.  Great looking building in both.
