Well since I requested the challenge I have to participate Thumbsup Thumbsup

So I have decided to work on my Central Oregon Pumice company which is part of my Bend Oregon Free-mo switching layout. This will be a series of building flats, conveyors and any other buildings I see fit to build. As this part of the module will be the switching part and will feature a backdrop it will allow me the ability to mix 3D and 2D elements together to complete the illusion.

Photos from this area have been slim to none. I have been able to locate some aerial photos from.

And a PLAT of the area.

Other then that information and a tiny amount of information from interwebs my plan will be mostly an "artists rendition" I have decided to start with combining elements from two Walthers structures.

Black Gold Asphalt Hot Mix Plant

Glacier Gravel

My plan will be to eye ball it and wing it until it feels right. I will talk some photos of my "plan" as it evolves.
I roughed in the main structure for Central Oregon Pumice. I am now going to work on roughing the conveyors and other parts in.

I have made a little progress on my build.

I have covered the tower in evergreen plastic "metal siding" I have also rezised the bin that comes from the building and have started on some on the conveyor system that leads to the rail loading. I still have a lot to do but I think it is coming along nicely.

That building is going to be great eye candy!
I like that you have "angled" the building with respect to the backdrop. I haven't seen a lot of that, and it looks good !
