Another birck in the wall

I managed to make a little more headway on both the walls of the briquetting plant and the mineral house house for my copper smelter module this weekend.

There are now three completed walls for the briquetting plant. The strange "peaked blob" at the upper end of the end wall on the right is the mounting for an enclosed overhead way which will connect to the adjacent limestone house.

Rear 3/4 view of the mineral house. The vertical red sheathed structure is the housing for a bucket conveyor which brought crushed ore up into the bins. This structure will be located tight against a 30" spur. Hoppers will discharge ore into a pit beneath the rails which will then be picked up by the conveyor.
