Barrel Factory main level progress

This has gone somewhat slow but the basic main level of the barrel factory is mostly complete.  The roof is still in progress and the wall caps need to be added.  The brick portion in the center rear is the boiler house which provides the power and heat for the facility along with the engine room buried inside the main floor in front of the boiler house.  The side you cannot see has minimal detail as it will not be seen from the edge of the layout.


The right side will abut to the drying shed previously built.  On the left side will be a small office building adjoining the main structure.  The second floor will be on the right side of the roof covering only about half of the main floor.  

The building finish is merely the standard ink/alcohol stain.  The windows are Grandt Line.  There is a door in the indentation at the right front where the dried "bolts" (barrel wood) is moved into the building.
