They are actually a solution to using the patternmaker’s pins pins you describe.
The Rice Harbor will be the foundation for my new layout based on the modest-sized Port of Palm Beach in the late 50s. Not only does the port have it’s own railroad connecting with the Florida East Coast and an interchange nearby with Seaboard, it was a major shipping point for railcar ferries to/from Cuba and the Caribbean. Thanks for the inspiration!
Could you show us a little more on how you recessed the switch controllers in the fascia? Looks terrific!
The split warehouse is a great is a great concept. However, when in the expanded position, the now
exposed walls are blank. The front elevation details of each need to be continued so they do look like
separate buildings. It is a great job!!.

David & MR crew, how do you obtain the C&L finescale alignment pins? Do you order them from the UK? They’re out of stock. Maybe I can find a similar supplier in the US.
