Hi everyone,
today i bought new land with 2 x 1,2m. This area will be place for my new routed track
![]()
The theme is an industrial steel factory, build in 1880 - 1910, with only some details
![]()
Most place will be needed for the factory halls and worker housing.
The first wall for one of the halls is nearly sawn. i´ll build most of them in this style. Only the office building will be a little bit different.
Here´s the first photo.

updates follow soon, because it´s cold outside here in Germany

The fassade is sawn.
This is the art i want to create all halls. Most build with bricks, so i have to drill a lot to make it look like.
And here is the fassade.

You have an excellent sense of design, Frank.
I look forward to following this development!
By the way (BTW) have there been any developments on the Course sans Entretien lately?
Cheers!

Frank,
I love the idea of the steel factory buiding!
What material are you using? The progress is stunning, cannot wait to see further developments

The walls are made of plywood (4mm) also some wooden strips with different Strength and width, balsa wood for the window roundings,- corraguated cardboard for the roof, cable - wire etc for some details.
And here is my work i did today.
The other two walls are milled and glued together.
The first stone paint is done
here is the result
the color looks like orange but it is red

The colour has possibly come up a little even, but other than that it looks good ol' early industrial red brick.
I guess much would depend on the era it was built as the shape of the building is fairly universal and timeless. But early industrial brick usually had a lot of colour variation through it as the clay wasn't refined well and temperature control and atmosphere in the kilns on firing wasn't particularly even. Usually finish up with lighter patches here and there and some come out almost black where they've been in a reduction pocket in the kiln. Sorry... too much information on bricks.

Stop, don't do that! The cupper will soak into the wood and you'll have to start all over again, use copper instead!
Seriously though, it looks great so far, cant wait to see it when it's finished.
