Let's imagine a warehouse the size of a wal mart distribution center. Strip it down and fill the 6 acres with a very realistic railroad in HO scale. <br /> <br />1- It would take 50 years to finish <br />2- cost so much money <br />3- running it would feel like work <br />4- never enough people to staff it. <br /> <br />I'll take the 4x8 thank you =) <br /> <br />I have a short list of industries that will be established on my line, space is a problem so I think some of these will actually be used so ehre goes: <br /> <br />1- Freight LCL House You want to ship THAT WHERE?! <br />2- TOFC / Public Team Track dont try to ship any more than you can lift <br /> <br />3- Cold storage You can chill out here <br />4- Icing rack Those reefers are thirsty <br /> <br />5- Stockyards water em and feed em every 36 hours while on train <br />6- Fertilizer dealer hey that stuff gotta go! <br /> <br />7- Grain elevator and feed mill feeding the cattle and local farmers can ship products. <br />8- Warehouse for anything you can get into a boxcar <br /> <br />There are others such as the electric coop, gas and oil depot and maybe a coal dealer. I also am considering a river next to the town with a barge that takes ore and stone down river. <br /> <br />If it all does not fit on one section I will simply go thru the corner and start on another section. <br /> <br />The next problem will be building a dispatch sheet to keep this industry set fed and happy.
