How to model a water bottling plant?

Well. As a former trucker we have been sent to really good water bottling plants. There is one facility in Maine that bottles "Evian" water (Expensive kind) <br /> <br />The plant sat above a underground spring. It is precisely one building built of precast concrete. It is a rather large facility and requires plastic bottles, caps and cardboard. As well as filters, tools and day to day laundry service for the worker's face masks etc. (Keeps hair out) <br /> <br />While we hauled water out of there in full truckloads that will easily fill boxcars or tankcars. <br /> <br />Dont worry so much about the actual building used in these facilities. In the modern era we live in, they all tend to look alike. <br /> <br />In the hobby you can have inbound tank cars for purification if you are ... using water from the NYC's east river. You can have any number of frieghtcars for both inbound supplies and outbound bottled water.. or beer, whiskey, malt, sodas etc etc etc. <br /> <br />Once again the building I was in to pick up loads were made from precast concrete. Any building material will suit as long as there is a bare minimum of windows, doors and a clean roof free from many vent pipes and stuff (Airconditioning etc) to prevent leaks from getting into the botting machinery. <br /> <br />Good Luck!
