My Upper level update

[rgeiter]

So I have moved on to another location of the layout. This is the end-of-line location of my upper level “shelf”. This location was originally the coal mine, now relocated. This is where I decided to plop the Walthers paper mill. I bought this when it first came out. Back then, in my 20’s i did not paint or weather buildings. Just slap them together and get them on the layout.( And it shows). Lots of broken pieces to try to repair!
So the other night I figured it was time to start here and make it look like something.

Got the roadways and parking lot done. Going to let it dry for a couple of days before I paint.

More to come.

Painted the “asphalt”. Tonight I plant grass, some trees and bushes. I’m also, slowly, painting the buildings and accessories.

Made a lot of progress the last few nights. Got the trees and grass planted, painted the holding tanks and added some piping to the chemical unloading area. Now I’m not an expert by any means. I have no idea if paper plants get tank cars in or not. But mine does. I’ve had this Walthers refinery kit for many, many years. I wanted to use it so this is where I chose. Enjoy!

Looking really good! I like the foot bridge going over the track and driveway to the other building!

Well done!

I think that’s for piping. I currently have it along the side of the large building. I don’t know what I want to do with it yet.

Finished the piping to the second building. Don’t ask, I have no idea what it does, but it was fun to build!

Moonshining ?

Nah. I think it's toothpaste. This is the plant where the colored stripe is combined with the right stripe. Or with two colored stripes for the fancy toothpaste. Or something.

Hey. Anything which generates traffic.

I just found another unopened kit similar to this one except it had T’s, valves, valve handles and steps/ladders. Hmmm, dare I add more?
