Often it is better to model one end of the process. A saw mill is huge but a
local lumberyard that receives the load can be modeled very easily. They still
receive a few cars per month here at a spur with a small paved lot. Modeling it
gives a reason to run centerbeams, bulkhead flats, and lumber boxcars while
taking up very little space.
Same theory for cement. A cement plant is larger than most layout rooms but a
redi-mix dealer can just be a spur with unloading track, a storage silo, and a
few piles of aggregate and mixing machinery. Add an office and a truck washout
pit and it's a complete scene.
A beer distributor's warehouse is a lot smaller than a brewery for those
insulated boxcars too :>) ..Regards, DaveBranum
