I have gotten into places around prototype railcars with inches to spare around my 18 wheeler (Dumas Texas Meat Facility comes to mind) or driven past miles of grain hoppers at the elevator. snoozed for a few minutes as my car rocked to the ground beat of a very long and slow manifest grinding towards St. Louis. <br /> <br />Any kind of train takes room. To model the "stuffing" between buildings and towns as well as the scenery is a art where big things must fit in inches with room to spare. I probably would try to plan the track, just the needed track and not one inch more. Then push and pull the buildings, trees hills etc etc until everyone has room for something. <br /> <br />For example a walthers barge at the harbor will be several feet long. What a monster. But when I think that barge will serve a "Off table" steel mill, power plant, food market, refinery and other very large real estate eating industries "Down town" I would be very happy at the space savings.
