That loading dock looks great Andrew, as do the other two structures. I'm always amazed how good these wooden structures look.

Thank's Andrew and Ron, A loading ramp is the next thing I need to build for my team track. I can get the general ratio of dimensions from your pics.
Jim, you are right, there is a special feeling associated with timber built structures! They have a charm all of their own!
Andrew, do you slice the 1:12 shingles thinner? That's a source of material that hadn't ocurred to me. Good thinking sir.

Thanks for the kind words...! My loading ramp deck is 12 scale feet wide by about 45 scale feet long. I have not yet attached the ramp.
I just pick the shingles out of the bag mostly as they come. I try to get flat, thin ones for the roof, but for the walls it really doesn't matter.
If I was to do it again, I might try these:

That's great work guys! I love seeing models made out of readily available materials, especially when they look so convincing!
