Industrial buildings

[DD13]

Looking for some industrial buildings, modern warehouses and loading docks. 

Any advice?

Years ago I saw the long engine house built as a freight shed with loading dock.

 

Didn't find any under Tomytec or Tomix, although there have been Tomytec in the past.

Tomytec has the refinery/chemical plant bits, but they cycle in and out of production and re-releases in second sets with different colors, but it’s spotty

Freight Depot common in the days of branch line freight. Could just be a loading dock.

Agricultural Warehouse

Much of the manufacturing in Japan is done in very small factories often in residential areas. None of these have railway sidings, but are part of local atmosphere.

A prime area is near the Kanda River in Tokyo. This slow loading page has some interesting photos and Japanese text.

Thanks. Maybe will do kitbashing when finding a suitable plastic kit.

Tomytec has a number of those light urban factory/industry buildings a bit bigger than the tsw.

So you are looking for industrial buildings? This is about 20 years old. We are lucky the blog it is still there.

The layout is 600mm x 400mm with a radius of 150mm to 180mm.

Wip. My kitbashed factory using Greenmax 2148 kit. What colour would you paint the walls, grey, steel...?

Yeah i guess a gray is sort of the industrial default, but might do some googling around japan with either image searches [translate search to japanese first} or try google maps and street view, you may find something interesting to model off of that is more interesting than gray.

Aluminum or similar color from Tamiya with rust weathering. I remember walking around Arabella Station in New Orleans and I couldn't believe it was still standing with all the rust.

 

 

The rust is more visible in this blog.

This is one picture from Steve Flint's 2mm Gakunan Railway with the same Green Max building.  I have seen other pictures on his layout and he uses the same color pallette and I think it is pretty effective.

Many factory buildings may also be corrugated FRC panels that are basically cement gray unless painted or the cement is dyed.
