Need some ideals on how to scratch build a tractor factory 40's or 50's with loading doc for shipping. At least to spurs to ship and one to bring in parts and supplies. I have seen some very nice ones and was told that they were built form Walthers Cornerstone kits
At the risk of biting the hand that feeds us, what you need to do is track down the February 2012 Railroad Model Craftsman for Keith Kohlmann's article in the J I Case tractor plant and its railroad service operations. Keith is one of the best modelers working in N scale.

Looks like some scale compression may be in order.
