Asphalt plant

[Anonymous]

I was thinking about putting an ashalt plant on my layout, I could use some pictures to base mine on.

An easy way to get pictures is to use the Google or Altavista search engines, selecting the images option. From there it is just a matter of specifying the search criteria.

One that looks promising for a model train layout is at http://mpaq.com/Pics/Asphalt%20plant.jpg

The asphalt transfer terminal featured in that article is here in my home town of Apex NC. I plan for it become a feature on my N-Scale layout one day. Unfortunately, it is surrounded by trees and barb-wire topped fences, otherwise I could get some pictures to share.
