The assembly of structures enforced the almost exclusive use of boxcars. I am in need of "any other" industries to get a more prototypical mix of freight cars on the layout.
An old brick building and a matching backdrop have been replaced by a hopper unloading line, some (plastic pellet) storage tanks and a more modern backdrop as a starting point. The old dry-flo hoppers are very versatile and support a wide range of industrial uses.
ps. The industry from yesterday receives flatcars. They are somehow in the heavy machinery business now.

At the next morning:
The need for greater variety of railcars is unchanged but this spot look lousy now. I need to find either a way to greatly improve it or find something else. Model railroading is sometimes complicated
