I'm going to enter the 2014 scratchbuilding summer challenge. I have a project that wasn't quite started, but I'm going to take advantage of the challenge to see if I can bring it to fruition.
The Sunkist lead on my layout is based on agricultural areas in central and northern California. I had mocked up a feed mill/distributor for a position on a spur from that lead:
However, I think the overall profile came out a little large for the area. As a result, the mockup will basically determine just the footprint and the roof angle. A better idea of what I'm aiming at is a feed dealer in Petaluma, CA, one of the very few industries on the resuscitated Northwestern Pacific. (This isn't my photo, it's from Google Street View). I'll be back in the area in July and may see if I can get over to Petaluma for some of my own photos then.
This won't be a big project, although I expect to do additional work on the scenery in the area as well as the structure.
