The cement works next to the Aggregates yards provides the other key buildings for the layout consisting of the conveyor system for the hopper discharge feeding into the cement mixing, storage and what I think is a control unit. These are very close to the running lines and will have to be scratch built. The first picture taken from the entrance shows a general view of the site including what I assume is an old platform from a now totally cleared siding. The Control Building dominates this view but will be largely unseen from the viewing side/mainline side of the layout.
The next two pictures show the siding and buffers, grey ballast here but brown on the mainlines so going to have to find the transition point. At the distant end of the siding you can see the gates and the control building for the hoppers to discharge into.
This next shot shows a slightly wider view and with the overhead shots I have from Google earth whilst I cant see all of the detail I can size and place the various structures into position on the layout.
The final shots here show the offices and administration buildings along the boundaries and on the layout will butt up to the back-scene.
There are more photo's if anyone is interested some of which are on Flickr, Please message me for more.
