Hi guys, I am finally finishing up the track on my layout. I have two main spurs/industry feeders and a decent size year. I am roughly modelling the rockies...as well you can't say it is prototypical because there is WAY too much track in such a small area...anyhows... 1) What industries should I use that would likely be in such an area? Natural resources I imagine...as not many coal fired power plants up north. 2) What cars are plentiful as, for example, timber would be awesome...but finding cars has proved difficult... 3) Any ideas on realism. I am having a major problem envisioning how I have two industries and they don't go anyware. I store them in the yard and then where do they go? I can build a fake spur to create the aurora that the line connects to the main system...I don't know...thinking too much? Thanks guys...any input is helpful. I'm used to HO where you can practically build ANYTHING and there are tonnes of bldg and cars...N is a bit...no a lot more limited... Justin
