Warehouse.

The warehouse and adjacent office building are from a Busch "Commercial Building" kit. It's intended to be a single building with the smaller section at the rear of the larger, but I chose to make it into two buildings (by simply cutting up the card sheet base and not putting the two building halves together), to better fit the narrow layout. 

I have painted and (in some cases) assembled several small details to go in and around the warehouse and its loading platform; there's still more I want to add, but it's a lot better than it was. The skips are from kits, I bought these from the Model Railway Club second hand sales along with a few other bits. The smaller building to the left is from an SAI (probably née Auhagen) kit which I built some years ago but never got around to using. The 20' ex-BW containers at the far end are Minitanks (in Herpa packaging but with "Roco" moulded on the bottom...and bought for 50p!) while the steps, slope etc. to the cream coloured building are made from black foamcore. 


The warehouse doors were made from Evergreen Styrene which has a surface texture meant to represent corrugated iron in N scale, it looks quite good used for H0 roller shutter doors! The frames are more Evergreen Styrene. While representations of doors are included in the kit, I wasn't satisfied with the way they looked. The clock was made by using a sticker from a Kibri level crossing kit, I stuck this to the lid moulding from an Auhagen oil drum; it has a nice dished back and a little rim around the front. The boxes in the warehouse are from a Busch kit, the pallet of sacks by Faller and the manual fork lift by Preiser. Next jobs are to make a back internal wall with doors, and fit the roof...
