As many of you know, I forego layout construction and scenery at this time of year to participate in holiday displays from mid-November through the middle of January. One of our venues is a 7 week run inside a greenhouse/nursery.
Last week I discovered some very realistic weathering on a Walthers lumber shed roof....
Needless to say, in spite of the excellent realism, I did not allow it to linger.......one of the perils of our shows that luckily does not happen often!
Have a great and safe New Year, everyone!

Thanks for sharing Alan and Peter,
I’ve been working on scenery in my industrial area of the layout, ballasting the siding to this small factory.

@Alan Graziano, could I ask what the tall "standpipe" is for?
@Putnam Division, not my type of weathering either.
@Anthony K, is your factory a straight kit or a kitbash of several? Either way you've done an incredible job.
Ciach
it is a stack
Coach Joe,
I believe that’s the Koerber shoe factory, just a single kit.
thanks,
Anthony

Joe- I found this picture of an old CS building in Detroit with a similar stack on the exterior.
My guess is that they were for refrigerant venting, not boilers. The old refrigerants will displace oxygen when they leak out. Many old plants used ammonia as a refrigerant too.
@Alan Graziano- nice work as always Alan.

Bob,
Thank you. Actually, the stack is to fill a gap at the intersection of an angled wall where there is another building. The stack will fit between the two buildings and hide the sharp angle of the wall.
