I am working on a country store which is going to need a loading dock. Where can I find pics or other useful info for building one? It'll be the type with an awning over it, if that helps. TIA for any help!

Check pages 35 and 36 (about 1/2 way down each page)of this thread:

I posted some photos and a quickie "tutorial" on how I scratchbuilt a simple wooden loading dock. It's nothing fancy, but you might get some ideas for yours by looking at the photos and reading how I framed mine.


Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm a busy man. I have a railroad to run.

Thanks! Larger than what I'll be doing, but this will be a big help! I am not too sure of truck tailgate height, so I figure a scale 30" high maybe?
