Happy Labor Day. Continuing my Mercer Coal Silos. I installed a siding, a pit, flush track and chutes and gates on one side.

You've been a busy guy!
The "sunken tracks" look right for the scene. Looking forward to seeing it in person.
Coal chutes look familiar...

Don, that looks great!
Here's the latest project on the Southeastern & Chesapeake, a Korber #700 background building. I opted to go with a tan/brown scheme instead of the normal brick red. It's not quite finished as there are details items to be added and a few spots that need to be touched up.

Very nice Zeke. I love that Korber building. You made it look very realistic with those colors.
Here are some photos and video of a layout constructed by the TMB model Train Club for the NY State Planting Fields Arboretum. The massive estate was the the former summer home of Mai Rogers Coe the daughter of the founder and her husband William Coe who eventually became RR President. Apologies for the late photo post as tomorrow Labor day is the final day of the exhibit. BTW the layout, power and trains will be for sale shortly

I am glad you started this off with the coal silos. I love them.
Patrick, Steve and Don K: Great work
Louis: For a first attempt the model is excellent.
Here is another s-sclae structure. This will be a diesel service facility. It is 48 inches long. I also included the completed Sunoco Oil Terminal.

S.
Thanks for the kind words guys. Everyone on here does such great work. I've learned so much watching you guys.
I know ive learned so much and saved pics so I can figure out what to do next myself.
Some really good pics guys!
Louis good job man- 
LI Steve thanks!
Don - did you post any how to's on that silo? Looks terrific.
I did not do a tutorial but in previous posts I believe I mentioned that I used the plastic white two foot long with three inch, inner opening, that they sell in the HD plumbing aisle. The silos are 12" high.I cut strips of wood and routed the inner sections so the tubes wood fit together. I used commercial grade Liquid nails. I used styrene panels for the filler pieces and Grandt line windows I primed everything and then used Rust-oleum textured spray paint #239121 Caribbean Sand. The coal chutes are plastic electrical channel (given by Eddiem) and the chute gates are styrene and old chains. Any questions, let me know.
