leighant, <br /> <br />I made the appropriate changes to the member info so that emails can be sent. I was not aware of a problem until now. Thank you for assisting me with that issue. <br /> <br />I wanted also to express that it is good that you finally found something for those hoppers to run. I was motivated by a covered hopper in the B and O Rail museum's collection at www.BORail.org which was painted for Domino's Sugar of Baltimore. I picked this industry to model because it offered much operation in a 2 x 8 foot space. <br /> <br />Someday the layout room will be finished and hopefully there will be similar modules such as the Brewery based on a earlier post by dknelson and others that I have learned much from. thanks to the MR forums and related material. <br /> <br />There is a GATS train show coming up soon, and I will certianly look for some of these books as other models that are out of production. <br /> <br />My next projects in line will be a Distellery, Dairy Processor, Creamery, and a Food Distribution hub including a icing station. And I will be adding some seafood houses to ship crabs, oysters tuna from fishermen etc. <br /> <br />I hope to have a layout that has industries that are dependant on each other for the daily bread. (Pun?) <br /> <br />I wanted to ask if anyone has a way of picking out car fleets (or even a single car etc) to service these places? The post by leighant taught me that there must be a few orphan cars that needs work to do. In fact, I have a few pulpwood cars for a future papermill, however is there a way to use the pulpwood in a different form? (or I can interchange em as bridge traffic but these cars look well enough to earn revenue) <br /> <br />Again, thank you for your time. <br /> <br />Lee
