Thanks! I REALLY like how it fits in with the other buildings

Hey, that track layout looks familiar. No wonder y’all hate switching Majestic…

Bruce,
Very nice duel purpose building, I really like the roofing.
The size of all your buildings (in your last post) all seem to fit with the scale of your trackage in the area.
So many times people think they have to conserve space so they make/buy buildings that are too small
to capture the unconcious minds eye of reality so end up as just caricature of what they are trying to achieve.
Anyway, well done.
Rick

PS
Well, except for the toadstools :)=)

Hehe. I didn’t even notice the toadstools until I loaded the pictures on the computer. Oh well.

Anyway, they do make for a nice place to sit - and I usually move them to be in the shade when I’m out there in the summer.

Bob…I think there’s a little bit of timesaver in all our layouts. :wink:

“Bob…I think there’s a little bit of timesaver in all our layouts. wink”

Huh?

#110

OK…sort of “inspired” by the TimeSaver… Anyway, the roof continues to rust. I REALLY like this stuff.

Dang squirrels…knocked over the Liquor Store again (you can barely see that in the background). They’ve also been on this roof eating acorns. And a shot from the shady side.

I’m amazed at how much it has changed since I put it outside.

That roof looks great. I always like the way a metal roof looks after it rusts.

Somewhere years back, several [i]decades[/i] ago actually, it seemed "knocked over" was a slang term for robbing, which brings a high-Larry-us mental visual to mind :D

Too late now but do you remember the ridge vent on my Washington Fire house build Bruce? It works quite well too…

Holy Crap! I'm not THAT old. It's still a slang term....

Ridge Road had some figures on sale, so I picked up a few sets to populate the loading dock.
