Charlie b's layout

...mortar mix.  I will have a lot of filling to do....

It's lookin' better with that coat of paint, Charlie, and some pre-mixed drywall mud will make short work of the mortar job.

That stepped facade above the garage doors is a bit unusual, though.  In the photo you showed which contained the photo of the real one, it doesn't appear that the roof is sloped downward, from left-to-right, which would otherwise be suggested by the step-down.

I've been working on gondolas, but got sidetracked making loads for flatcars...no wonder nothing gets done on my layout.

Well, the roof does slope down from left to right, (picture)except I didn't notice it until you mentioned it and I took a closer look. I think I may just forget that detail since it took a hint for me to see it. I may at some time make a correct roof, but I am trying to make room to scan a railroad photo collection that I received from my friends widow a couple of years ago. there are over 2000 photos to scan in that collection and my cousin just got another batch of historical photos from my home town.
