". So my amateurish description of how I think the loading dock was built, is concrete blocks with a thin layer of concrete on top."
Looks enough like cut stone blocks that you could just add the joints on the upper surface, and color the whole thing to represent the kind of stone that would have been used.
That's okay, Kurt. Many of us Americans stopped being bilingual years ago, und mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht. So many people outside the U.S. speak better english than we do. That said, perhaps model railroading is another universal language like math?
I'd think stone blocks would be less uniform than concrete blocks (we call them cinder blocks) unless cut very precisely. Either way, the chipping away effect is a nice touch that adds character. And the overall building is superb.
