Mal,Those are words of wisdom for all that planning on building a small ISL..
Planning a small ISL does indeed take time and less is best usually is the best path to take when planning a small ISL instead of having a "cram a track everywhere" marathon..
I now fully believe larger industries with several spots is the better approach for interesting operation.
