I've been working on a particular industrial scene focusing on a Gantry Crane (TMCC).   I automated trackside movement and then decided to camouflage the drive shaft of the Gantry Crane hiding it under a platform. https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...1#147972075011278941

The drive motor was still visible.

 I thought a building covering it would be a good approach since I could easily lift it off to deal with any motor issues. Then Quarter Gauger 48 (Ted) introduced me to ModelBuilderSoftware and encouraged me to 'build my own'  With only about 2.5" in width to work with, no kit or prebuilt I could find would work. So with his mentoring I dived in and built this (Ted, sure hope I didn't embarrass you with these. ) :  

The first building (blue below)  fit over the motor and did the trick. The next morning, I decided I'd prefer a 2 story building.  Then, I found I had an EvansDesign welding light kit so, since it's a yard, it needed a welding shack as well.
