Instead of just the "5900" for the address, maybe you could include a short set of numbers for modelers to custom-make an address.

Building looks cool, what are the dimensions?

Man what a gorgeous building. Having just finished up your grain elevator, I'll attest to the high quality of these kits. Now I just have to figure out what I'd do with this one. Need to come up with an excuse to justify its use on my planned layout.

Roughly 7 7/8" X 3" with the loading dock.

What I can do is make an inexpensive customized address. It's fairly easy and quick to do.

Now I just have to figure out what I'd do with this one. Need to come up with an excuse to justify its use on my planned layout.

I'm really glad you enjoyed the elevator! This is a fairly small structure. I think it would make a nice Christmas tree ornament.  :)

Some final pictures...I was able to improve my technique with the stencils, improved the dock, the freight doors, and added a couple of other details. Everything is finally set and I'm am totally focused on the instructions. Ready for Amherst for sure if not sooner.

Looks really great David!  But shouldn't wood-grain on the diagonal braces run parallel to the boards edges?  :trollface:  I'm sure that it is just an artifact of the laser rastering process. Maybe just don't bother rastering the pieces which are supposed to be made of wood?  I also realize that this is highly magnified photo - the model probably looks fine in-person.

Rats! If I had a layout, I'd order one. Rats again!


Hmm... Kiz, stop insulting
my pet rats...


Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

You are correct: it is from the rastering process. It is very difficult to see without magnification. I painted it with light brush strokes going the 'right' direction to compensate.
