July 2023 - New Walthers Grocery Warehouse

What I don't get is the truck door on the backside where the spur would be.

Reading the instructions, it looks like they might be showing a version with all the doors available, but can be assembled with blank walls for some of those locations.

Here's the sheet -

Like in this picture, it seems that you can use the doors (53 and 54) or the blanks (5 and 6).

That's the "mafia door".   They have to get their cut of the beer from the back alley...

I was more worried about the larger (rail?) door on the front in-between the trailer docks and the personnel doors.... Hopefully we can leave that plug in.

       On the topic of building size: here's a (maybe it works!, who knows, I did it) link to the Google Streetview image of a building that until sometime in 1996 or maybe 1997 was getting a standard 50 ft boxcar (or maybe occasionally a couple?) about once a week or maybe less frequently than that.  I only noticed flange grooves in the dirt of a crossing on the way in a couple of times while I was living there (1994 to 1998):  https://goo.gl/maps/QW9LSZ9h7Y7ARoKf9 
     

yeah, that one's a little bigger than the Walthers kit!

Thank goodness for selective compression - making model railroading possible since 1832.
