[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by FJ and G Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (thankfully for people who are ugly). With that caveat in mind, I will hazard a pick: a recycling warehouse on the NS in Springfield, VA. One of the doors looks as though a forklift inside has hit it and it protrudes outward with recycling trash oozing onto the spur. It actually might be fun to model for those who like junk yards, but it tends to be more an eyesore. Junk yards are a bit more fascinating to me and obviously to many others (hence the popular TV show titled: Junkyard Wars). The other element is that on smaller layouts, warehouses take up a lot of real estate unless they are selectively compressed. Real railroads, of course, take an entirely different view. They could generally care less about aesthetics (often even their train aesthetics). They instead are more concerned with industries that generate steady streams of revenue, preferrably in large quantities and in key locations of density that don't require long-distance switching. Dave Vergun [/quote] I had a Junkyard on my layout but then i gorrid of it fora museum and then got rid of the museum and put in Engine terminal, I have put the Junkyard back, the museum No longer is anywere on my layout but they do have a line that runs next to my rivers and goes under my 2 bridges its Jointly owned by the mesum and and CaNW Systems(fictional line i help create) And it will eventually depending on the weather have reversing loops on it to run trains on the line. O and this is off topic But I like Junkyard Wars. The Junkyard on my layout is servied by a old weather beaten UP gon[}:)]
