Front of layout building

[Brakie]

I think it's eye catching and makes an interesting conversation piece for visitors. Some cool photo opportunities through the loading dock too.

Indeed..Around '97 I was on a local NMRA layout tour and a guy had a industry on the edge of the layout with no back wall.The interior was highly detailed* and look good.

In the van( held 9 passengers) a conversation started about that building and the pros/cons was flying freely until a older gent turned and said "Fellas show me one building with a open back wall"(or words to that effect) and turn back around in his seat.The conversation died out.

That old fella had a point..Real buildings doesn't have a open wall so,in our quest to emulate what we see around us why should be model a building with 3 walls? :?:



* What caught my eye was how some of the support beams had a section painted red for the location of a fire extinguisher and how he model eye wash stations-yellow sinks.
