Dresser Top Warehouse Building

sign1 I guess I do! My short-term memory isn't that great though!! (...at least I don't think so!)

Yeah, that building is THE most excellent warehouse structure I've built, and that's saying something. :thumb: However, they really strived to prevent you from reversing the walls in this kit (which would have made it easier for my layout if it could have!

All in all Walther's open-are transload building is AWESOME! :thumb:

I'll put a pic in my "First Serious layout" thread later today with pics!

So, I looked at the site you posted vs what you built and yours is a 100 times better then the manufacturer. Look at the roof on the left and the paint......

SEE THE DIFFERENCE??????

arent they supposed to have a bend in thm for drains? i figured you were talking about the bend in the roof at the left.as for the ba paint job,that was just a stupid mistake.--josh

 

[COMBAT]

Not like that...... That thing is falling in after heavy snow I guess. LOL

 

[bigsteel]

Hey TruckLover, Just curious: is this EXCELENT building going to stay where it is or are you going to move it to another place?

I have been and to tell you the truth there is some slope but that is crazy! Normally the slope goes to the edge of the building too, not the middle. That would create a large Lake!

HEHEHE

 

[COMBAT]

Well now that you posted that, I do see the difference and I DO LIKE MINE BETTER

That paint job is really bad compated to the MFR and that sag on the MFR building is horrible lol. I noticed that the roof does sag like that unless there are inside supports which I have had to do for a couple of buildings to stop the sag. As far as the slope for drainage, they do have a slight slope but nothing like that!! sign1

Nope, nothing new yet, been kinda busy lately, should have some updates and new pics by the middle of the week tho :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

The military channel is my new favorite channel besides discovery channel lol

 

[TruckLover]

Some Updates

Here are some new pics from around the warehouse yard:

Another overview of the yard showing all the construction and the trucks. As you can see, I was watching the Military Channel again lol

Another overview shot just like above but from a different angle

A look down the siding, just added some ballast

View of the construction on the building, it is getting to be a good old construction site mess lol

Nuther view of the construction, you can see a cement truck unloading some cement in the back for the foundation that is being poured inside. Meanwhile, the loader is parked and a OVERNITE trans. Mack pulls away an empty 24' flatbed pup trailer.

A dirty excavator sits behind some containers that house some important machinery and tools.

Thats it for now, I am going to ballast the roof tomarrow

 

[TruckLover]

Ballasted Roof

Here is my ballasted roof for the Warehouse, I think that it makes it look a lil more realistic + gives the roof a lil texture.

Here are some pics:

Roof Before Ballast was added

Roof After ballast was added.

Another shot, I am planning on adding some roof top equipment such as air units and vents and maybe some small machinery and roof access ladders.

Well thats it for now.
