Looked over the fodder tonight...some really tight brick work on an HO LifeLike 'Fairhaven Bottling Company' No. 1355, and similar dimensions (but more crudely cast brick) on LifeLike's Engine House, No. 1354.
I'm going to stick with the bottling theme, but just what they're bottling up in the Blue Ridge, well, officially it's 'Spring Water' or Tonic Water. And cleanliness is naturally the reason the loading area is enclosed...and trade secrets the reason the whole place is fenced...and just coincidence the county assessor and plant manager are cousins...well, you get the idy.
I like South River Model Works stuff. Their NE themed mills built on different vertical levels sited on a fast moving river are neat to look at, and knowing they base their stuff on prototypes as much as possible is nice. I'm borrowing inspiration from that style of structure, only a bit more Antebellum in geography and style. Maybe even a little Haunted Mansion (DisneyWORLD Florida version) thrown in for fun.

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