Deltak - a modern industrial structure
I've mentioned more than a few times in blogs and postings about how my office building overlooks a rail served Industrial Park. So I thought I'd get out and about and photograph some of the structures and the locale to give you a feel for the area.
First up here are a few views of Deltak. Deltak make heat recovery and pollution control equipment. It is a rail served industry but it is actually quite difficult to photograph the rail side of the structure due to trees and bushes surrounding the property. I have seen extremely large loads on flat cars in the yard but it's been nigh on impossible to get pictures. I also think they have a trackmoblie on the premises too... (Think... It's winter now there won't be any foliage on the trees)
I just took a peek at the structure on Google Earth and the factory floor part of the building is about 525 feet x 120 feet, with the offices addition an extra 160 x 130 feet. So a H0 scale model would be about 1.8 metres long. Not small by any measure but with plenty of scope for selective compression and certainly a very simple structure to model.
West side of the structure that faces Xenium lane
North west view. The north face is alongside the tracks there is also a siding in the yard along the north face of the building.
South side of the building has the offices and in this view you can easily see the big HVAC ducts on the roof.
The bushes and trees hiding the premises. the curving road accesses the property.
The structure being so basic is an easy project and with these photos and the dimensions I've given you, you could get started right now.
Incidentally,Deltak actually has some significance for me, for when I had my first job in the USA working in a local sign shop I installed some of the signs on the premises (No, not the big lettering on the building side)
