Great job, and it is just grand to hear from you. Your backdrops are great, but the other modeling is great too. You done good.

Thanks everyone, good to see y'all. Open house tomorrow, I'm looking forward to it. I put together some simple switchlists so visitors can run some freights if they want to.
Reinhard, here is another of your buildings that I used:

Hi Gary,
Your work never fails to amaze! I especially like the one above with the combination of a ~1930s (?) brick building with the 1970s or 80s expansion. Looks like business really took off! Andrew

Hay Andrew!
That's how I see it too. The business started small in the past, then hit the big time. The industry is "Houston Ag Products" which is something I made up. They make fertilizer and such. As for the layout... The large structure to the left in the photo was already there, and I was trying to find a place for one of the buildings that Reinhard had sent me. This looked like a perfect fit. Cut the building into a backdrop building and set it in place, and it turned out real nice. Plus, it saved me from having to paint several more inches of backdrop!
