That one building is about 4-5lbs. There are an additional 3 buildings in the complex that are not shown.

Ian-- I finally got my camera out to take a picture of mine.  My biggest objection to this building is that the window mullions are just printed on clear window material which you attach to the back of the walls which are very thick giving the windows an unrealistic setback.

Not to hijack the thread, but what car is the out of focus Westinghouse flat in the foreground of your picture?

Thats a Schnabel Car. I dunno if the Roger built it or if its the Overland brass model.

The flock is 2 parts Silfor 4mm Late Summer, to 1 part Silfor 4mm Autumn. They are mixed with a mini blender and then added to the scenery with a Noch GrasMaster.

A mini-blender?  Are you trying to make it shorter, or just really mix it up?

The scene is looking good!

Just to mix it up, and to eliminate those hairball clumps that Silfor seems to create in the package.

It's the Overland car.  I got it (relatively) cheap when Overland was closing them out a few years ago.  Thanks, Ian, for even speculating that I could build such a thing of beauty

I've always wanted a Schnabel car, but can't see scratchbuilding one anytime soon. Anyone know anything about the MicroAce version? (You can PM me so as to not hijack Ian's thread. Well any more than I just did.)

Ian,

 The mill scene is coming together nicely what are you using for ballast. Like the water tower got one to put together one of these days.

[Ian MacMillan]

John, ballast is Smith & Son "PennOhio" #50.

The entire scene looks great. Really like the look of your ballast.
