Thanks. I finished reconfiguring the warehouse on the workbench, but then discovered a flaw that I'll have to live with.

   

I re-attached some of the external details and added some weathering to cover some glue stains.

     

I also added and internal floor to match the height of the truck loading dock. I used some scribed wood flooring, laminated on some thick styrene. I sprayed the dock with testors concrete, followed buy some vallejo dirt.

I needed to finish up the warehouse so I can used it for finalizing the trackwork that will go around it.

   

   

Now here's the flaw. on my original layout, this warehouse was on the waterfront and there was enough space to have a large traveling crane straddling the one track on the one side. I don't have that space here so the warehouse will be against the track instead. The problem is the large doors on that side are ground level instead of raised to service boxcars and flatcars. By the time I realized this (today) I had glued the door panels in with an industrial adhesive that will never come apart. I think I'll keep the structure for now and look for parts to build a replacement in the future. I probably have 2/3 of the parts already, I just need to find the rest at swap meets. 
In the meantime, I can finally start the tracklaying in this area.
