I would like to have some more industry in the center. The Walters meat packing kit might be a nice background building.

It may expand to the left and replace the other building partially or in a whole. There would be still two large brick structures based on the Atlas Middlesex warehouse.

The boiler house might fit in the middle ground between the tracks. The windows would be closed with concrete colored walls.

I got an old Kato/Atlas MEC RS-11 from US ebay. The model is in close to perfect condition and the excellent drive is still a smooth runner. Got lubed anyway and enjoyed working with a model where the parts are made to perfectly fit.
To my surprise fits a Tsunami "drop in" sound decoder without any problems. I added LEDa, painted the roof dark green, added some small details and weathered it to be in the early 1980s.
Just forgot to plug the bell into the hole at the top of the long hood.

There should be also some very old MEC Atlas GP7 and GP38 in harvest gold. I will have an eye on US ebay.

You have accomplished something more difficult than accurate modelling by far - capturing the "look and feel" of a specific place in a specific period. I can see the warehousemen trundling their dollied crates back and forth while the trains clang and bang in an out, switching and dropping off more loads to be distributed.
Outstanding - your images look like the real thing.

Here's earlier versions of MEC RS-11 801 & 802 by Brandon Kulik from Maine.
