No pictures, but you could put all three kits end to end. That in my mind would create a large manufacturing or fabrication plant. Or it could be a power house, maybe a power substation.

   Sorry I don't have pics, these are just ideas.

THe building is too small, the bricks are too big, and it's too expensive.

Enough bashing ideas for ya?

Tell us how you really feel about those Walthers buildings Ed - don't hold back!   :D

I agree with you, but we don't have all that many choices in N scale, so sometimes we have to improvise using what's available.  :|

Really this is the type of building that looks better longer than it is. Or maybe you could sawtooth them at an angle against a backdrop to look like a bigger complex.

I'd like to build a small crane for the shed -- a small winch that rolls along the travelling I-beam, which itself is powered with a motor/gear on one end to move it along the tracks on the walls. Not a huge cab-mounted version like Walthers has, a small one that is partly motorized and partly pulled by a hanging chain or rope.

I plan to use the Kits for a can mfg fractory. "American Can Company". I believe one type of in bound freight,raw materials would be coils of metal on gondolas.Ideas would be helpful for service track plans. Box cars for outbound metal cans.
