I have a sorta two things, one is a town on a 2x8 shelf that has industries that sort of works together... Cattle Pens require feed, water, and slops to keep em going. There is a icing platform, feed and grain mill that handles both covered hoppers and grain loaded boxcars inbound and out. A gas facility that handles propane and ammonia etc and so on. <br /> <br />One major industry was the Dominos Sugar refinery, it turned into a massive factory on paper and too big for my space. What I am trying to do is cut it down to about 8 freight cars all together on 3 sidings. I may be forced to use flange squealing 15" curves to fit this next to the sea food packing and cannery as well as the big Walthers barge that carries traffic to and from the steel mill, refinery, Coal dock and Gas/electric works. <br /> <br />Once I get more room in the future I will be able to branch out to model other types of industries. Even with the compression I am beginning to think that the planned two car garage is never going to be big enough.
