Industries -A Open Discussion.

Sounds interesting. Does that mean that it's a plant to process marble, or are you simply using a similar transportation system? I seem to recall seeing a system such as that somewhere else, too, including the turntables, but I can't recall the industry: perhaps this was a fairly common method of moving heavy materials within such plants.

If your particular operation is as interesting as that in the photograph, you could enjoy a lot of modelling challenges just trying to build all of the interior details.

The example come from the Yule Marble Company in Marble, Colorado because that was originally going to be my layout. I think the small cars pushed along narrow factory racks were probably coming for moving heavy goods from machine to machine within the factory.

One of the major factors that drove me to give up modeling the marble finishing mill was that I have to work in N-scale, making it extremely difficult to do justice to the factory interior.
