As promised I am including some pics showing the evolution of my railroad over the last 3+ years. As stated previously, this is really two layouts in one with a DC elec loco layout and a DCC steam and diesel layout.

I have been building an Alpine scene railroad in DCC and DC over the last few years in Z scale and have been inspired by other great blogs to start my own and record my progress/trials/tribulatons. I have learned so much from other member's comments in other blogs and I am hoping my story will help others and I may be lcky enough to have some of my questions answered my my hurtles overcome.

I layed track for a new siding in Brighton Park this week; one of the industries that will be served by this is Curren Candy Company.  This structure recently has undergone a rehabilitation.  I originally kit-bashed it back in the 90s from an article by the master of kit bashing, the late Art Curren, following his ideas found in his book:  Kitbashing HO Model Railroad Structures, Art Curren, Kalmbach Books, 1988.

Here we see the installed structure with an WP box of sugar being spotted by ALCO S-2, 22:

Need suggestions for modelling (in HO) those clear-ish, heavy-weight plastic strip, industrial doors that allow fork-lifts and similar vehicles to drive through without having to stop to open them, but largely keep out wind and rain.  If anyone has any suggestions I'd be delighted to hear them. TIA
