Couple more shots of the AT&D diorama structures, such as they are.

In the first shot, the loading area is actually one sheet of balsa that's been 'lined' aged and weathered with my pencil technique. I have found that adding a large loading dock can be a way to increase the apparant size of small structures that in reality may not warrant trackside service. In this case I think the building would take rail access anyway, but the dock fits the shape of the L and sweeps around to meet the double doors on the end.
For the second shot, notice the electrical box and conduit, a ruse to disguise the joint line between wall sections. Still more detailing to add, but one I'm pleased with was a Woodland Scenics dry transfer for 'No Clearance' in yellow with vertical letters I applied to the side of the building nearest the siding.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
