What would be the best industries to model (on 4ft X 8ft layout) for a beginer and for an experianced modeller? I want to model a switching layout that feeds a modern mine. The setting is in the northwest mountains with mines and "depot" for serving the area round about. What types of coal hoppers and switchers should I use. I was reading the post on what the easiest and hardest industries to model and most of the people said the hardest was either a some sort of refinery or steel mill. I tried looking up pictures of both of them on the internet and didn't find much. Can you post some good pictures of a model steel mill and/or refinery and/or mine. I hope this starts some good conversation. <br /> thanks <br /> <br />Alexander
