Drinnick Stores - Main Warehouse


Stubby47

1,106 views

A bit of thinking, musing and pondering, followed by a bit of card cutting and paper sticking, has resulted in the main warehouse building being created.

 

The theory is that the original building was completely re-vamped inside, creating a new upper floor height and window/entrance. Consequently, the outside of the building was also re-arranged - the large windows were bricked up and smaller ones inserted in the brickwork (still to be done). The main entrance was widened and a roller shutter was fitted to replace the original wooden doors (still to be done).

 

What this gives is a suitable structure for the location, and which has a reason to be at odds with the alignment of the track (as it was there first).

 

From the model perspective it fits nicely with the backscene, but contrasts with the track to reduce the simplicity of the three simple sidings (I hope, anyway).

Starting to come together now Stu!

I like the perspective of the main warehouse building. Took me a while to realise how simple the track layout is as my eye was drawn straight to the upper level.

 

(P.s. How many micro layouts is this now?)

How many micro layouts...?

 

Hmm,

Millward Farm -a OO/OO9 split level with canal and stone hopper - not finished

Edward Street - an inglenook and station layout - not finished

Porth Byhan - The Harbour in a boxfile

Wheal Tiny - split level On16 with wagon hoist

Woodbrick Road - photo diorama

Polbraze - 2010 Challenge layout

Drinnick Stores - china clay-ish themed photo diorama

 

Plus

the unstarted Cement Shed in a boxfile

the unstarted 7mm/On16 Transshipment Shed in a boxfile

 

So that would be 7 plus 2, so far...
