Thanks Wayne for the kind words, and the link to HMW. Brian Martin from HMW is a great guy - I have several of his models, and he is always happy to answer my questions about the prototype... 
I made an N-scale version for a friend by reducing the plans on a photocopier and employing the same scribed wood/dowel approach from the HO kit. Since his layout needed something a little more worn down, I weathered it more heavily, and hacked away the bottoms of the doors. I also rusted the roof more severely, and even put a hole in it...
The metal roofing is made by squashing foil between two pieces of SCSI computer ribbon cable. Somewhat oversized for N-scale, but looks ok to me...
