In the prototype the wagon loading facility is at right angles but there isnt the depth on the layout for this so I've changed the angle to fit the back of the loading bay aligned with the backscene. The loading part is around 10mm deep and mounted of Foamboard to keep it light and give it something to attach to the base.
As the building crosses the join between two boards the buildings will be mounted on their own base so they can be carried separately and added to the layout when its set up. The chimney is also taller than the backscene so another reason to travel as a standalone module. The storage tanks are made from plastic tubing and the pipework from brass rod. Still need to paint these as they are only primed at the moment.
The final grouping includes the loading bay and eventually the conveyor, that will come later in the fine detailing phase but the hole in the buildings are already there.
Final Job of the day was to prime the multicoloured Cement mixers from Kato and Tomix (I think) ready for rebranding
