I have been reading the thread over the past couple of days and have to say you and your crew are doing some amazing modeling.
Was the "grease" a by-product of the slaughter process or brought in for the operation of the plant?
Nice work on the road
It looks like the typicial Canadian asphalt after a few harsh seasons of snow and salt damage followed by repairs.
Before I found this site I had never considered scratch building a structure. When I look at the price of a kit compared to what you can do with the say amount of money with alternative materials it is a great way to get the layout filled up.
Find a picture of one pulling a passenger train and he would probably build them. I'd be in for 2-3 myself if they ever see the light of day.
