Great!  One of my many projects that are in the works, is detailing a couple of AHM's Flexi-Flow hoppers.

Plano makes an etched metal detail kit for them, complete with ladders, running boards, etc.  

When I finish these, (miracles DO happen) I'm going to apply for reporting marks.

On my layout, GERN Industries will not be represented with a factory of their owm, but there will be a few receivers of shipments originating from GERN. The GERN freight cars will be there, but no GERN plant or facility.

.

I do not have enough real estate to do GERN properly.

Hi SeeYou190

Well stick up a ridge with industreal security fence and gates company name on the gates with a big sign and gate house for employees to enter no tresspassing signs stand some tall chimneys up behind the ridge.

Make sure you can't see over the ridge from normal viewing angle so no one knows the facory is literally only the chimneys and a single siding job done.

But make sure you know exactly how long the siding is and what if anything is down there.

This is an old trick I saw once in Model Railroader in that instance it was used as a DoD property of some sort what was it "well thats clasified if I told you I would have to shoot you" but the same base idea can be adapted to represent other industries.

Just something to think about.

regards John
