Recently, I decided it was time to finalize the right side of the plant and get to finishing off the chemical delivery area. This is a scratchbuilt/kitbashed portion of the complex that has really added a lot to this module/layout. Not only is it another area to switch, but it really completes the large feel needed for a paper mill.
She is finally gorilla glued in place and the scenery has been completed around her so that she does not look like a a building sitting atop a layout - but instead it is part of the layout. This is important to me in terms of realism....

| Chemical Delivery Area & Chlorine Storage Tanks |
Originally, this delivery area was just bare walls. It looked more like an engine shed vs. a delivery area for tank cars, especially at night when you turn on the interior lighting. Thus, I added some extra parts that I had laying around to create the illusion that this interior space has piping/valves, gauges, etc.

These are the ground storage tanks that come with the Walther's Cornerstone Paper Mill kit. I like where they ended up at the mill. I heated and bent the piping so that I could make it go underground into the mill.

| Ground Storage Tanks & Piping |
My entire mill complex has a light colored gravel roof. It too is weathered to show grime and effects from Mother Nature. There are also plenty of roof details to include AC units, ventilation, fans, blowers, etc. Here I added some aerial lighting to illuminate the chemical storage tanks (chlorine).

Stay tuned for more shots of this area as I get it finished.
