[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Capt Bob Johnson</i> <br /><br />Oh, one shouldn't forget the vast amounts of yard space that would be taken up by just one industrial structure! Imagine how much of your yard would be taken up by a food distribution wharehouse or an auto factory. Even a meat packing plant would use tons of space. Those who are into container trains, try to do a pier and ship to unload them from. The ship alone would be over 3 feet wide and 30 feet long, and boy you wouldn't have much grass left in the yard to have to cut after you made that model. Heavy industrial just isn't practical! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Capt Johnson, <br /> <br />What would you say to an abbreviated scene, that is some small sample of heavy industry. A small yard, maybe two sidetracks and large industry on a smaller scale. We have an old mobile oil plant called the “Magnolia Plant” just north of our town. <br /> <br />[img]http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/exhibits/railroad/power/magnolia.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />It is a lot smaller than a full refinery, albiet it had a small appearance and even a small yard for the loading of product. <br /> <br />Just a suggestion, <br /> <br />Wha'cha think?
