Fitting industry's on a 2' deep shelf layout.

Try to find the 1999 issue of Model Railroad Planning.  Linda Sand's article on Big Industries in Small Spaces shows several ideas for industries on narrow 24" deep domino pieces following the David Barrow domino system.

By the mid to late 50s, those Shermans are either bound for an export port or a scrap yard.

There were companies that used Sherman chassises as the basis for logging equipment.

A National Guard armoury at that time might have tanks.  A rail siding and storage tanks for fuel makes it an industry.

I've started bench work on my around the walls shelf layout (build thread coming soon) and I need ideas/inspiration for industries that will fit a 24"deep layout. I will have a single mainline with passing sidings. Ho scale, mid to late '50's Era, freelance. I know I want a coal mine(walthers) and a couple of customers, but I need some examples (pictures) of how to squeeze things into a small space. I have a military train of 30 Sherman tanks and would love to have a storage Depot for military vehicles. Any suggestions or pictures will be very appreciated!
