I have started another scratch build project for the CNW Peninsula Div. It is the F.H. Kearney & Co. feed mill located in Ironwood, MI. I found the plans in the August, 2009 issue of Model Railroader mag. The plans were for a N scale structure and since I model in HO they needed to be enlarged so as to get a HO scaled drawing. Office Depot was able to do this for a very reasonable cost. Follow along for the build.

This is copy of the article from MR 

This is the start of the "Warehouse" end. Materials are Evergreen Scale Models #4526 Metal Siding for the two main buildings, .060" sheet styrene for the floor and foundation. The "Production" end of the structure is built the same way using the same materials. 

Windows from my scrap box and before they were cut down. 

Windows cut down and glued back together to fit 

Start of assembly, scratch built louvers which are basically Evergreen #4061 Clapboard to simulate the louvers. All of the sliding doors on both of the buildings are Evergreen #2030 V Groove siding, and misc. Evergreen styrene strip is used in the construction. The steps are from Walthers modular foundation kits.

I added a truck side loading dock which was not in the original design. 

This is the track side of the building showing both sections assembled. The "Production" section of the mill is the taller one at the left end with cupola and cyclone dust collector (Walthers part from scrap box). The support frame is scratch built. and the "Warehouse" section is at the right end. Building is primed and has the rolled roofing applied (Masking tape cut to 3' wide strips). The roof over the street side loading dock is also a add on and was not on the original building. 

One more major part to build is the elevated feed loading bin and some additional details and final painting and weathering.
