Trackage in industrial areas

Greg, I am not going to use normal roadbed and ballast for my industrial area. That is, in the city industrial area. Particularly at street level. Some modelers use lower profile cork (N scale for HO) and some use lower code track to lower rail height (i.e. code 75 instead of code 100). You can also just level the area with ballast (as in train yards). Usually the building will line up OK alongside the track if you cut some ballast out next to the track. You may have to experiment and see what works for you.
