Model Railroad Craftsman magazine had a 2 part series on modeling a meat packing plant and its operations ........October and November issues. I forget what city the prototype was in .......midwest somewhere. Don't forget to have the "death march" ramps that the cattle and the Porky Pigs take from the pens to the killing house. Hehe. I've spent some time in a leather factory ...... Seton Leather in Newark, NJ. Huge, heavy bins of hides would come in. Skin and hair on one side of the hide, rotting flesh on the other side. Everywhere you went in this plant, everything was covered with a thick, slippery paste of rotten flesh and dirt/grease. The workers, none of which spoke English, all wore rubber knee boots because of it. How those guys sat there and ate their lunch on hot, humid days in that stench I don't understand. Jim
