My background flat of the P&LE Locomotive Shop at McKees Rocks, PA is almost done.
It was created using the OpenSCAD 3D program and took about 35 hours to 3D print
all of the pieces.

I had to compress it lengthwise from 17 sections to 7 sections and I had to
abbreviate the railroad name.
I learned from a member of the NYC Historical Society that the round newly painted
bricks on each end of the prototype originally had a "New York Central System" logo.
The P&LE was a wholly owned subsidiary of the NYC.
That logo was removed when the P&LE was given its independence as the
NYC and Pennsy were merged to form the Penn Central.
In my alternate universe, the P&LE put their logo on the shops as the P&LE ran
independently until 1992.
Next I need to glue all of the 3D printed parts together and try to find decals
for the big letters of the name.
