Very nice! I was hung up on the 2x8 foot. I have a extra 2 feet of wall to go to the corner and from there can go 12 feet to the next corner. Thank you for the tip about high structures. I was planning to build low stuff to the front and work back with bigger structures. I dont have a "Plan" published yet, what I am doing is test fitting the trackwork and looking for room to place the actual structures then I go from there. I did plan this for about 2 years and alot of paper and internet research have gone into this project. But that extension idea or a "bulge" to fit a slightly big industry in a spot is way awesome. I was looking at the 2x8 as "Rigid" barriers when I had all sorts of small areas to sorta "Sprawl" into. Final verdict the sawmill is going in. I have other industries such as Freighthouse, Engine service and passenger station. The grain and feed complex, cattle yards and reefer icing works as well as a gas works, electric coop and a single flat faced warehouse in the back for general freight makes for a small railroad that is super busy and dependant on both interchange and on line industries for revenue.
