New warehouse

Modeling
#1

This has been a long year, finally pushed through and got this done, it has taken me a year to finish. Put it out today.

It will be a warehouse on a siding, got the idea from Noel when he built his a couple years ago, more like a false front building, has LED lights on the inside, got them after Christmas for like $2 at Walgreens, the dock are has a LED rope light underneath, that is the white cord, have not hooked that up yet.

Mark Dashnew made the sliding doors and windows, worked out great, Stan made the decals, as usual he did a fantastic job, all the materials were just laying around, very cheap build, cant wait to see it lit up at night with a train going by.

That figure and crates of explosives my son Cody won them in the build contest, there were a couple more and they will go in the mine shack by the mountian mine we built.

That looks great Tom.

#3

I have something like that in mind for the back wall of the shed beside the yard area in Delores.

What’s the length of that? About 6’ I’m guessing.

#4

Looks good Tom, did Cody assist on this too.

#5

Nice building… (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

I love it!

But you should clean out the Halloween witch that tried to fly/land in at the end of the open gable .

Hey Ken, 8ft long, about 13 in deep, going to build another one for the other siding.

Dave, yes Cody helped, cant see inside but he picked out images on google that matched what the business is and we glued them on the inside, there is a Fish market for Grand Island Fishery, racks galore for Stevens Lake Flour Company, shelves full of Oil cans for Munising Motor Oil, and more Racks for Bear Trap Mining Company. He named all the businesses(all named after places in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where we go for vacation), he painted the outside, there are figures and stuff on the inside of all the buildings, he picked them out and put them in.

Hey Tom,

So those sliding doors, whats the story on them. They are very nice and that just looks like something I would need.

I am unaware of who Mark Dashnew is. I was hoping I might be directed to him, or that he might chime in, or if he is a manufacturer be directed to his website. That’s all. I realize he did not make them himself.

I thought you liked to read ?

It’s all here Devon …perhaps you should take a break from writing and read. LSC has some pretty hellish archives to dig into but that is just my biased opinion.

The keys to the vault are just multiple mouse clicks away !

Edit: because what I thought was a witch that crashed into the end of the gable is no more than the cord/plug end for the lights I believe.

Devon yea Mark posts here a lot, he is making diesels on his 3D printers, among other things. He also has a section under manufacturers I believe.

#14

David, thank you.

Yours was the easy response to my inquiry. I actually did type in “Mark Dashnew” into the member search before asking. But seeing as how the man’s name is not Dashnew, but Dashnaw it resulted in zero hits. Since that member does not exist I did not think that he posted here. I also figured that by asking I would be show interest in the OP’s project to which he might enjoy responding and knowing someone showed interest.

My daddy always said I would learn more if I closed my mouth and opened my ears. In this case I might learn more if I quite posting and searched archives more… well the suggestion never worked for dad either. I am conversational, I come from the camp that believes the only dumb question is the unasked one.

So to Sean and Rooster. . . my apologies for not knowing who Mark was and for not silently doing a search to try and determine for myself who he was before asking the OP for more details on his project. Geez what was I thinking.

And finally my apology to Tom for taking up five posts of his thread to get a simple “Mark is a member here and has a forum in the manufactures section” answer to a question about HIS build. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

well, Ladies, if you excuse me for interrupting…

Tom, you got yourself a fine building there.

and a building, that serves the whole siding, not just one car.

#16

Tom, your building looks great. Gives me an idea on my new elevated layout. How wide is your benchwork? And how wide is your building? I have a 8 foot storage building I built for my garden grade layout that I think I can modify to fit along one of the new sidings under plan.

#17

I am around, lurking, can’t stay on the web long, my eyes are not working as a pair due to a concussion and the white background on this site drives my eyes wild

Web site was hacked and the hosting company isn’t doing jack to help me so i’m primarily on Facebook and Ebay

Hey Rich, width of bench work is about 3ft, building is about 12-13 inches wide, you can make false front like buildings as narrow as you want, I cant remember what Noels was but his was narrow also, all depends on what you want your rooms inside to look like.

I used 2x4 lumber mostly, you could use 2x2 if you have them. You could make it like the old western false front buildings, or make it out of styrafoam like Yogi Wallace used to do, made one like he did, been outside for 7 years now and no problems.

I did not have very much room so this worked out great, plus at night when its lit up, we glued pictures from the internet and it kind of gives it like there is more room inside, the optical illusion look…

Those doors that Mark made were great, and they slide, I put plastic inside the doors covering the entrances so critters or bees/wasps dont go in, windows were easy to work with lso, just cut the plastic to fit,glued and they were done.
