Found a few components in the junk box to build the office annex for the brewery.  I'm going to put a little beer garden in the space between the loader and the office, as predicted.



Guess I better start looking up Preiser Beer Drinkers on ebay...

Looks good, Lee, but can you trim the addition back to fit a sidewalk in there?  The beer garden sounds like fun!  Hell, I'd drink there!

I really like how this scene has come together.

I've got to fine tune the street location a bit to provide for the sidewalk, but yeah, it's coming...  Gonna spend some time working on the interior/exterior lighting first.  Also need to make a big copper brew kettle to go behind the big windows.

Did a rudimentary scan of ebay, and another of a Preiser dealer, and I'm coming up empty for an N scale Oompah band for my Beer Garden.  Any suggestions?  I at least need some fat guys in lederhosen...  I can kit bash them into poses hoisting steins of lager...

Just stumbled across this on the facebooks...

Like mine, only different.  Office out front is cut stone with a brick brewery in the background. 

I like the details.

I love how close the spur is to the corner of that building in the picture of the prototype.  Probably don't want to ride on the side of a railcar there!

how about painting a spherical object in the appropriate copper color and placing it inside...

A couple of ping pong balls spraypainted copper ought to do the trick.

Stopped by my old haunt at the ReStore, and found some nice round brass cabinet knobs...  Looks like we can start brewing soon!

That should work out perfect!  I imagine the cost was negligible, too.
