I wish... but mass-produced N scale wasn't around in the 30s or 40s...

Number 500 does beg to be modeled, but it is a different type than what I drew. And it might possibly be shorter too. Anyone with drawings?

Terminal Cold Storage is already built. It's tall-ish, but about all it blocks is the backs of the tenements.



If I may, is there a prototype for the brick cold-storage building with all those windows? I can't recall seeing many real-world cold-storage buildings that don't have solid walls.

Just realized I have this book:
http://www.arcadiapublishing.com/9780738509662/Railroads-of-Hoboken-and-Jersey-City
Flipped through it and only one single photo mention of the HMR.

I know, I have that book and it was quite a disappointment. This book, on the other hand, is a gold mine of information on the HMR.

Fair enough. I guess it's just a Philly thing...

No, JC and Hoboken had solid-walled cold storage buildings, too. Example:





It's just I'd already built the model to serve as some nameless industry, and when I came across the reference photo of the windowed cold store in Hoboken (which bore a passing resemblance of the front wall, at least), it finally got named. Anyway, all of the scrutiny has me thinking of either repurposing the building, or rebuilding it.

At this point DKS could go either way with the cold storage building. If you were to change its appearance,
How about this idea maybe filling in only the lower level windows of the building, that are close to track side?
