More bits from the Fairhaven kit. This time it's the shipping/receiving doors for trucks. Not sure if I'll put a loading dock on there or just bumper ties on the wall. I swapped a couple walls on this section: the short wall with the door and the short wall with the two small bricked-over windows. They are the same size, although I had to bevel the door wall to fit up against the long loading door wall, and file a smidge off the beveled egde of the solid wall to make a good joint. They'll all be braced eventually anyway, but why not start out solid.
The large receiving doors didn't make much sense to me, unless they were intended to be roll-up doors or lift-up garage type doors, possibly sliding freight doors, but then why would they fit flush in the wall? SO I rectified this with a few bits of scale 1x4 to resemble two framed doors. I left one unmodified for photo purposes, plus it was really late and I was tired.
Where the little bricked over windows are located will be a coal chute for the boiler.

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