For all we know they could be holding nuclear waste. It is Tyco after all.Just joking of course. Still, nice factory.

That's another thing JB... I wanted to fence in the back of the building, but there's no door. Still gonna do the fence but with a large gate ... Those barrels are a little different looking...

I have one of these buildings somewhere. I ended up adding a roll up freiget door from a Pikestuff kit on one of the sidewalls.

Empty beer kegs from last night's Christmas party?

They are old barrels full of PCB-laden oil from transformers and GG-1s

| Some of them came with a sliding door that went on the side over a window opening; I have one like that, it's molded in a yellowish tan color instead of red. It also has a water tower on the top of it.

| I placed mine on a different base and made it a police station / jail. The door did not look right for a factory. The same kit is part of the Grusum Casket Company factory. There this part looks like the front office and the second half has multiple loading areas.

They appear to be air tanks from a cars break system cut in half.

Hmm, since this is part of the Grusom Casket Co, and that structure was based on an E. L. Moore article, and assuming E. L. Moore influence extends to those molded-on barrels, I think we can be pretty confident that they are full of 'white lightning'.
