Looking for article...
Posted by Mykhalin on Friday, September 15, 2017 7:43 AM

Greetings!

Several years ago - I want to say 10-15 years - there was an article in MR, Model Railroad Planning, or one of those design idea booklets included with either of those titles, about compact industry LDE's. The photos showed kit buildings in mockup fashion with 2/3/4 tracks leading to it.

I can see this article in my mind's eye, but for the life of me I cannot recall what issue it was in. Would someone with a better memory than I please help me resolve this "senior moment" and point me in the right direction?

Thank you,

~AJ Kleipass

That sounds like Linda Sand’s article from the 1999 Model Railroad Planning (page 66). The focus on multi-track industries was great, but I personally think the examples are somewhat limited by an artificial length constraint.

 Agree with Byron, that's the article that came to mind when I read the description (and before I scrolled down to see his reply Big Smile ). But I didn't remember the exact year.

Thank you! It took some digging through my file cabinets (that issue wasn't where it was supposed to be), but I found it. I appreciate the help.

Linda Sand had many good articles in the early years of MRP and for whatever reason has stopped writing for them.  Too bad.
