... the older brick structures were fine models I prefer...

Palmetto was (and is) one of the modern ISL that did make me rethink brick vs. shoe box. The brick building as a model itself is much more pleasing the eye and the required craftsmanship is more obvious. The problem is the domination of the layout and the feeling of much less space left for anything else (e.g. engines etc). That feeling contradicts with the felt endless length of a pair of Genset.
The challenge with the pikestaff stuff is to build something unique. I did the usual details as directed this afternoon. The building looks like a photo from the Pikestuff catalog now... nothing unique so far. And it is even worse. I love the blue color and did not change it therefor. Only the roof has been changed from pure white to light gray/brown.
