That buildings look really good! Is that your fist time posting photos of that buildings? Can't remember to have them seen before.
Anyhow, you solved the situation with a little trick. You shifted everything to the background to have the space for full buildings in the foreground. I think that worked very well. While looking at your pictures and imagine to sit in front of the first row of your building fronts give me a better feeling than sitting in front of my cut building. You got both worlds, a concrete canyon and a beautiful building front.
Reinhard,
Thank you for you nice comments. The benchwork started out as 18" bi-fold doors (Lance Mindheim suggestion), but I ended up adding several additional 1"x 2" pine boards to the edge to bring it out to 22" wide. This allowed me the extra room to place a two lane road in the foreground next to the structure. I have attempted to utilize ideas from your layout as well as Lance and Kurts. If I was to do it again, I would have settled for a 24" wide by 96" long bi-fold door and made both structures slightly wider. There is more than enough room for three tracks between the two buildings. The four track is fed the back warehouse from a separate turnout. Below is a Bing photo of the actual complex.
