I am wondering if anyone knows anything about this building ? It looks to me like 4 kits joined maybe

That is too easy! Ask a hard one.
You are exactly right. That is four Walthers Cornerstone 2 stall engine house kits built end to end. One can tell it is originally an engine house because of the 4 exhaust stacks on each of the roofs where the smoke stack of a steam locomotive would have been were it parked in there. I don't know exactly what it is supposed to represent in this case as it is too narrow to be a car shop and WAY to narrow to allow any sort of loading / unloading. A place to keep box cars out of the weather???

Thanks to both of you, it looks almost identical to the freight shed that I want to build as well.

Looks like that would be fairly easy to do . Block out every other window and replace the remaining windows with freight doors. Add a dock. Remove the smoke stacks.
Correction, block out every other PAIR of windows.

Next puzzle if I may, anyone recognize the middle building on the left, and the two on the right ?
From Jeff Paulsen’s awesome layout.

You mean 1, 2, 3 as below? Hmmm tricky.
#1 is Walther's 933-2902 Machine shop Terminal Structure. Don't believe the water tower is part of that kit. Over sized for the top of a building.
#2 Can't find, I think it is a Magnuson, but you would be real close with either:

#2 Can't find, I think it is a Magnuson, but you would be real close with either:
Walthers Cornerstone 933-3095 - REA Transfer Building (many of Walther's structures are after Magnuson designs.)
Two Walthers 933-3173 Commissary/Freight Transfer Buildings back to back.
#3 appears to be kitbashed primarily from a Heljan/ConCor B681 Slaughterhouse. The chimney is not from that and also oversized for being on the top of a building.

Thanks IronHorseman, I found some after they said heljan as well I think. No 3 is a brewery kit I think.

Yup. These companies often use the same molds and add or subtract pieces from them and re-market them. I see the smoke stack is part of the Brewery Kit as is the extra taller section of the building that is not in the Slaughterhouse kit. I had written it off as a separate structure.
Looks like a really nice structure. I don't have that one. Might have to add it to the collection.
