Good Morning Everyone,
I will start off with a model of a bakery outlet building I just constructed. I used Evergreen styrene sheets for the building and covered the front with Plastruct concrete block sheets. The windows were scratch built.
Let's see what you are working on.

Ah, Entenmann's of Bayshore Long Island! I lived in Bayshore for a wee bit, a few blocks from the bakery. It looks good, I can almost smell the pastry.

Outstanding work. Just like I remember the entemens outlet on queens blvd. My father would take me there regularly to help him stock up on discounted goodies, marked down to almost nothing because of the due date but not a scintilla of staleness.
I built this small freight house, at the northwest corner of my 12’-by-8’ layout, from a craftsman kit around 2004.

Sweet! (Pun intended)
what is the significance of the last photo? Is that a stock chimney? thanks

Me Too! My grandmother lived near the plant. Between her home made lasagna and meatballs and the smell of fresh goodies in the air, I never wanted to leave! 
Great building Alan. Brings back some fond memories. I'd love to do the full factory on a layout some day.

wb47 - If your asking me about the photo above, of the open N6b caboose ? I thought I'd include one photo showing the only way I could figure out how to lower it.... Drill out the plastic "top hat" with a Uni-Bit drill, epoxy/gorilla glue in a thin fender washer. When it was done it lined up with the Kadee coupler height gauge with no shims. Other than that caboose is entirely stock from MTH including smoke jack.
I finally set my tunnel diorama on the layout and put down plaster cloth. Hopefully I can get it finished up soon so I can run trains again.
The background image I added to the tunnel worked out perfectly.
Happy Sunday!

I knew Alan's Entenmann's outlet would garner responses from the Long Island contingent. Even some long term visitors.
Bob the tunnel really makes that corner pop.

Melgar, IMO the Solitary Man (Neil Diamond's hit song) sitting alone on the freight house platform in your 1st photo, is fabulous. Arnold
Sirt: I envy your eye for the details and your ability to capture the life like colors and texture of your work. It's always great to see it.
Just built this.
Great photos everyone. Today I worked on our hobo camp. Hobo Shoestring and Stobes hanging out and teaching some new hobos about living the dream. I do have the fire barrel set up with flickering lights. Just need to run power to it. Still have a little work to do on this spot.
Great threads this week, Excellent work on the Entenmanns's building. Chocolate glazed doughnuts and Apple Pie among my favorites.
This thread is always inspiring and helpful
