Jersey City Industrial Railroad Micro-Layout

Anyone else notice that the imposing brick building that DKS posted is not symmetric?

Really? 
I don't see anything that's asymmetric...

Found this one. Good combo of the Atlas building and the sawtooth MP structure.

Erm... which one?

[Frisco Larry]

assuming the Utah State Hospital is the building in question, the cupola/spire on the extreme right looks different from the one on the extreme left.

The adjacent chimneys, too.

Look at the white pieces around the windows(lintels?) not the same.

Still not getting your reference. You may need some more nouns. You could also include a link to the image in question.

If he's talking about the Utah State Hospital, I disagree with the comment about the different lintels.  I believe they only look different because of light reflection.

Here's the link to that photo: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fa/Utah_State_Hospital_%281896%29.jpg

Ah. Thanks for your help sorting that out. I agree, too--looks like a simple case of differences in lighting.

Yea, it looks like the ones of the left are sort of "glowing" where as the ones on the right are more dim.
 Depending on the orientation of the building, it might be that the photo was taken in the morning/evening.

That's odd, because it starts out OK--you can briefly see the close-up view of the plant--then refreshes itself.

EDIT: I think I found the problem. The link fails if the view orientation is rotated. If it's due north, then it works. Try this one: http://binged.it/12xjA8E

All the same, here's a screen grab (click to supersize):



Boy, would I ever love to trespass on that property (wearing a hardhat, just in case)...

No hardhat

The large building next door that has been torn down:

There are a lot of changes between views, and also between services. This building: http://binged.it/16JKRoy

looks like it burned down: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=youngstown+oh&hl=en&ll=41.084592,-80.637586&spn=0.002825,0.004699&sll=39.995859,-74.164615&sspn=0.25986,0.601501&t=h&hnear=Youngstown,+Mahoning,+Ohio&z=19

Yep fire:

The furniture company is taking shape. Required three Cornerstone Brach's Candy kits.

Also, the Rearden plant is coming together as one big structure.

[VonRyan]

Loving the progress you're making, David!
All your wonderfully bland buildings have certainly opened my eyes for when it comes time to put structures on my own layout.
I'm quite fond of your rendition of the Rearden plant's blended architecture and varying angles.
