Wow , is that a continuous building ?

Front one yes. The background is 2 buildings. There are many more in the complex. It was the largest textile mill in the world until about the 1960s

One of the buildings I started to build was a brick curtain factory that is located at the west end of the Simonds IT. Its a kitbash of 3 Walthers Brachs Candy Factory kits. These were a lot smaller than I thought they would be. It's been quickly placed on its spot on the layout,so there is a lot of work to be done on the building and scenery still.

When I opened the box for Brach's Candy Factory I laughed out loud at the size...

I thought, how much candy would a factory this size put out?  300-400 bars a year?  Geeze Louise.

If that!

LOL!

They sure aren't the king-sized ones either.

Maybe the candy bar had been selectively compressed too . . .

Using the Wanka Ray?

Some of these "smaller than they should be" N-scale buildings look more acceptable than others, Brach's however just looks bad.  It might be due to it have 3 stories on such a small footprint.
