Very groovy!
I like all the pipework and the little details like flattening the truss rods where they cross at the center and the gusset plates on the i-beams!
Just got into building with styrene myself, so thanks for providing a lot of ideas!

A very fine thread and layout.  I've worked in various industrial sites my entire professional life.  You've captured the look and feel of perfectly.
Thanks for sharing.

I decided to proceed with the undefined, unspecified miscellaneous something or other…. I can't say what it's supposed to be, but it looks like it belongs there.

As to the unnamed thingy - this is some sort of chemical plant, correct?  Perhaps its a weather encased mini fractionation tower or something similar.  Or maybe pump hose drying tower. either way, it does look cool.

The unnamed thingy immediately reminded me of an industrial chiller (cooling tower).

Moving along on the paper mill….
This will be a chip conveyor based on the photo below. Chip pile will be to the right…






This is the plywood core for the next building….

LIRR, I can't wait to see that pipe dangling across the tracks (assuming you are going to do that.  Dig the large pipe structure over the bins across the tracks.

I'm a very big fan of this principal! Looks great. I agree with MC, the piping is awesome. I really like how you have some good strong guts for your structures. I could see that being very beneficial for my free-moN application.

What a contrast! The log loading area....so primitive, except for the modern car and then the mill with all the buildings signifying industrialization.
