Z scale warehouse in progress

Wanted to show someone this warehouse, but thought I would also post it here to show everyone the realistically-sized industries that are possible with Z scale.  What would this be in HO?  8 feet long? :scared: :trollface:



This little z diorama is inspired by Microsoft Bing Aerial imagery of LA.  I want to replicate the feel of that, and take some photos from far away from a change. :D

Tom, I been asking for a modern warehouse, but nobody listens. I am tired of small looking structures that cant support a car load.

HAWT. The weathering on both the roof and the boxcars is sweet Tom.

Nice track!  :)

Looks like rubber roofing that has been rained on for years.

Tom, I love it! That roof is stellar. This is why I love Z. Big buildings that justify car loads!

Nice to know I am not the only one who likes realistic size buildings. :D
