<P>[quote user="Texas Zepher"][quote user="Wyonate"]<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffc888">What is a good industry with alot of swtching with alot of different loads I can put on my layout???</FONT>[/quote] A meat packing/processing plant. Livestock, equipment, supplies, fuel going in and meat going out. Don't forget a place to clean the stock cars. Icing and washing the referigerator cars. If this is in conjunction with a canning or curing plant then one gets all the raw materials for that as well as canned goods (SPAM?) going out.[/quote]</P> <P>Dont forget tankers to carry out edible and un-edible fats for processing. Hides go out in old, I MEAN OLD boxcars followed by flies. Gondolas are sad little things in the summer I wont go any further about them.</P> <P>Dog food in bags and cans along with other things from the left overs of meat packing.</P> <P>I like Food warehouses as you can get boxcars, reefers, tankers of dairy products to be bottled and all kinds of different loads.</P> <P>Feed/Seed mills with elevators and tank storage for different liquids and a team track will provide virtually everything you can invent coming and going.</P>
