First off I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!!
Here is a steel mill I created for the TMB club layout. We have a large yard with storage tracks and mainlines passing through. There is also a cut in from a hidden yard. As this was not an appropriate place for a tunnel Portal I decided to place a steel mill false front to give the illusion of trains entering and leaving the building. To add some depth to the building I created an overhang with 2 rooms, one being a machine shop and the other the employee break room. Camera battery conked out so more photos to follow later. The structure was created with a 48' x 21" piece of Masonite, the overhang out of foam-core. The Face of the building to give the corrugated look is manila folders cut into 1"x2" pieces passed through a paper crimper (Special thanks to Dave Minarik for showing me this technique). The windows from Tichy, interior details from Bar Mills and people cane from various sources. To complete this I painted it Gray, weathered it and sealed it with a coat of dullcote. Still need to add a few more details and some people to the ground area in front which will come in time. Last I have a name for the building with letters I had laser cut by Andre Garcia i need to assemble and install.
Lets see what you all have this week.
