I started with a Walthers Blue Star Ready Mix kit with a fair amount of modification planned. The kit is odd in that it doesn't really have a railroad interface. The aggregate (sand and gravel) comes in by truck as can the cement and if you wanted the cement to come in by rail, the kit doesn't have the parts to model how to unload it.
So I'm changing all that.
I assembled the office per the instructions despite my best efforts to have it face opposite the kit instructions. The problem is that the doors on the ends are not spaced the same from the nearest wall (front or back). As a result the walkways that go to the doors won't fit if I turn the building arround. The wall you see in the above image (the wall with the most windows) faces the mixing building at a scale distance of about 10 feet. (ugh!) I wanted this wall facing out so plant management could see the operation.
So there it is with an office interior wall and a pair of employees added.
The lower portion of the mixing building, installed on the base.
The entire mixing building. The cement trucks would drive through the building, and stop inside to be loaded.
The office entrance after weathering.
The other stairways. I wish I had taken a photo before I began the weathering but the large piece is only partly weathered so you can see how bright the yellow paint was.
