Very nice!
Had a screen timeout while viewing again - are you going for the 'disused' look or will this be 'fully working but severely neglected'?

Not got much done last few days, but did get a few bits moving...
Spoiler:
Thanks for looking.
Not getting much done he says... Yeah right, and monkeys might fly out of my butt !!! Your 'lack' of progress is the equivalent of most others weeks worth of work
Are those windows/skylights I can see being installed. Nice - presume they will get the dirt & grime treatment befitting them?
i think you crossed the line with this one here for "mere" tabletop terrain making...this is so...wholesome looking...it is a true model...i can see a teacher giving lectures and pointing at certain structures to details making claims about how this was built "back then that way..."
As for the conversation about the removable roof: Having just built and painted a model with integrated roof and walls, I'd say keep the roof separate from the walls.
I'm assuming it's not needed for structural integrity of the walls. There's times I can see that removing the roof and leaving the walls in place being useful (one of those is painting, but you have that covered already).

It legit looks like a proper factory, I am really impressed with this build so far!

All of it very well done Cam- really impressed with the wide assortment of materials you've pulled together to make this. I still need a display board for photographing the occasional piece I'm able to turn out; you've got me thinking that some blue insulating foam board might be the way to go: easily embossed, lightweight but strong, cheap. It's the textured concrete of the modelling world!

Kinda at a stage with the factory got to look at it, still got lots to do. One job was dirty the windows...
Another was make a claw lift cradle for the interior....
But while I am thinking about it, started on the next piece.....
I have realistically done this lot today as have had several days off modelling with other things IRL getting in the way, so hoping to get back at it properly soon.
Thank you for looking in really appreciate the comments folks, means a lot to me.

Nice use of I-beams to make rails. But they need spikes into the sleepers.

@ Brianj, agreed, will sort it promise.
@ Yorkright, Nah going to the dark side matey.
@ All Thank you folks really appreciate the comments.
So, not sure how much colour I want to add to this...
Scale shot....(yes I know it is a bit on the big side, but this is a forge world train, carries things like Titan parts around.)
For those who might care, I actually went with OH Scale (not a typo) as in oh bugger it that looks about right.
Also started on something to go on the tracks if they want a bit of extra cover.
The whole thing is yet to get detailing. Also probably a couple more bases that will extend it in a modular fashion. Not too much. Still working on the factory as well.
Comments and critique welcome, thanks for looking.

Yup- the engine that this wheel is part of ought to be big enough to haul a part of a Titan....
It still amazes me: some people, when they need a part, go to the shop and buy it. Others go on eBay, and buy it. Others go through their bits box and adapt something. Some see something floating around in their trash and repurpose it.
But not Cam- when he needs a part, he throws together a mold and casts it on the spot, oftentimes producing something of commercially marketable grade that could earn him millions- millions I tells ya- if only he'd go to the dark side and become a full time designer!
On a more serious note- well done Cam; the wheel looks very much the purpose-built, cast item from a real factory.
