Reinhard,
I haven't been here much lately. I started reading through this thread, but don't have time to finish it right now. You might look at La Puente/City of Industry bounded on the north by the Interstate 10, on the south by the 60 freeway, to the west the 605 freeway and to the east by the 57 freeway. A lot of the industries that used to be in Vernon moved because the street access was too narrow to allow easy use of the 48 and 43 foot trailers that are now commonly used by the trucking industry. Another area that has a lot of "shoebox" style warehouses on the U.P. would be around U.P.'s Colton yard (exS.P.) in Fontana, Colton, and Ontario. This would be just west of San Bernardino and south of the mountains.

Hi Russ, I have moved the layout in April from "shoebox West" to "brick East"
The layout became freelance in the 1970s and 1980s. I use a bunch of photos of the West Bottoms in KC, MO for reference how a brick warehouse district might have been but stay freelance.

Integration into the ground cover and adding some "stuff" is always a pleasant job.

Great changes, Reinhard!
This is a really well formed heap of old bricks! And a good looking stone canyon as Brakie said. Wonderful details!
Cheers, Bernd

Hi,
Reinhard,that scene is developing great.As always a lot of fine details and also the painting and weathering of the building is very nice.
Keep up the good work.
How long did you wait for those kits to be delivered to you?
Cheers,Chris

I had to wait about 2 weeks, ordered from AAT. Don't be confused if AAT's web side lacks some kits found on Downtown Deco's side. Just ask Mr. Hartmann to get them for you.

Good evening Reinhard!
I don't think I have posted a comment on you're thread before because I am usually speechless and drooling from the mouth when looking at you're pics.
The latest photo with all the detail is simply awesome.
Cheers
Jacques
