While I won't paint mine at this point, yours looks great! The plant I worked at was brick, so the color you chose looks very familiar to me - as does the car dump. The plant I worked at was torn down last year and all the ash send out in many trains. It was built in sections between 1928 and 1957. The units from the 20's were not in operation past 1971, but we still used some of the auxiliary equipment. My favorite piece of equipment was a 1928 Ingersoll Rand air compressor. It looked exactly the same as a stationary steam engine and pumped in both directions. I loved the oil drip cups that were adjusted to keep the packing oiled on the piston rod.
