Happy February! Last week I finished up the last structure for my WW&F Albion module, part of the Portland Canning Companies cannery. The cannery and "shucking houses" were located across the road at the end of the yard in Albion. They were not really so close to the station but I've run out of length on the module and thought that the industry was important enough to add the scene. The only industry I was not able to incorporate was the Besse tannery, for which the WW&F did haul a significant amount of bark and hides for. The sawmill output is represented by loading boards at the team track.
While the structure does look rather out of place all alone, I'm hoping to develop some backdrop painting skills to better blend it in. I figure poor painting skills are better than none? We'll see.
Albion looks like a busy scene. Regretfully, I think I need to work on the backdrop before completing more scenery. It really needs some grass, weeds, and small trees.
