This loading warehouse is used to load goods onto box cars. The photo above shows stacks of plywood, but you could also use stacks of lumber or produce like fruit. This is a wonderful "stand-off" model that is easy to build. The internal stud walls are a single peel-and-stick piece for each wall.
Loads are brought into the warehouse via an opening and ramp on the back of the warehouse. The door on the side is used for truck loading and unloading.
History
This model is based on an actual plywood loading warehouse located in Bingen, WA at the SDS Lumber Co., and was built in 1946. It is still in daily use loading plywood onto double-door box cars. The building has been modified a number of times and currently has extensions on both sides: a corrugated metal extension on the left and a gable roof storage/office building on the right.
