That's a rare find, especially in the east. Too bad it's not sitting on its trucks.

Just thought I'd throw this in here....a current project on the layout.
These are the Dalton packing sheds. I wanted a way to keep them in place but be able to remove them, if needed, easily.
They are spaced apart so any car at any shed can load from any door.

I picked up some 3/16 (id) styrene tube, cut it to length, and then sanded the corners of three pilings for each building, until the tube slipped over the piling.

With the building spacing set, I took a felt tip pen and marked three outside corners of each building. Now I painted the ends of the pilings that take a tube, with finger nail polish, matched up the outside corner marks, and set the building down to mark were to drill for the tubes.
Because I'm using three tubes per building, alignment makes a difference. I drilled the holes in the foam over size, and used liquid nails adhesive, it has lots of working time, and when it dries, it is solid. When everything was dry, I painted the tubes dark brown.

Here are the buildings with the tubing installed.

Did you notice that most all the doors are open? Except door six. Since a car can load at any door, then the other door would be closed.
I'm experimenting with Microscale's Micro Liquid Tape. It says parts can be separated and reapplied many times. Of course, the key here would be cleanliness. I applied a strip of "tape" down the two long sides of the door, none on the building. This door has been "taped" there for about a month now.......
