So we are discussing interchange and the industries on our model railroads:
Well, I interchange at Marshalltown, Iowa, with the M&StL and theoretically
with the C&NW. I have an M&StL Consolidation for switching and interchange iin
Marshalltown. Don't have a C&NW switcher because I can't afford one right now.
My industries are Iowa Power & Light receiving coal loads out on 18th Avenue
represented by the KORBER HO power plant which will be on a raised foundation.
Then there's LENNOX furnace represented by a scratch-built structure and by
two HO Cornerstone American Millworks buildings made into a two-story
structure. Well then there's ROOK Coal which I will use modeler's license to
be ROOK Coal and Oil Structure will be a small office building with coal and
oil yard. There will be a SWIFT meat packing plant and finally a welding
company. For my small space that will be enough. Oops almost forgot Kopel
Grain Company and have a Walther's Cornerstone concrete grain elevator raised
for that and an older wooden grain elevator from a laser cut kit. The silos are
mailing tubes for travel posters. I wish now that I had planned for the
structures first and then built the railroad around them. At the time I began
I had no structures and laid out the track where I thought the industries would
be. Big mistake.
