Machine shop build

Started to build the machine shop that sits across the tracks from the engine house. Campbell uses their warehouse kit for this, but it's not quite right. According to the April, 1963 article in MR, it appears the building is longer and taller. Also the photo and sketch the author did, shows what appears to be 2 large doors,on the trackside. For my build I used Grandt line door and windows. I drew out the building on some cardstock, cut out the doors and windows and used Campbell corrugated metal to sheath it. I have no idea about the back side, so I added in a few windows, for light, guessing on placement, quantity and window style.
All ready for weathering and assembly.

Partially assembled, need roof and some sort of interior details.
The ice house is to the right.
