Empire Goods Warehouse

I've started another substantial building on the layout, this time it is the railway owned goods warehouse. The idea is that this is a building with the track at viaduct level and a road entrance at ground level. The upper floors being used for storage. Construction is based around the use of Scalescenes brick paper and arches together with Brassmaster's etched windows.

Please let me know what you think. I'm wondering if I can find a way to write 'Great Eastern Railway' in the brick work. Also I think the bare wall facing the road will be ideal of a big advertising hoarding.

All of the goods depots I've seen had the painted GER references replaced with LNER, and these were subsequently painted out during WWII for the same reason running in boards were removed during hostilities. Of course, just like the infamously thin wartime black paint Stratford applied to locos soon revealed the old transfers underneath, so the thin black paint on the brickwork soon revealed the LNER Goods Depot wording underneath.

 

FWIW, in the GE period they always used a circumflex over the o, as in Dep??t.
