Basic Dimensions for 'Shoe Box' and 'Tilt-up' Factories etc

[TTRAK_andrew]

G'day Again Folks,
First off, thanks to Gary S for his detailed and dimensioned photos and advice on tilt-up/shoe box buildings. They, plus the other folks words of wisdom, have been of great benefit and encouragement to me. Hopefully they have been of help to others also.
My choice of North Carolina as a locale for my ISL comes from first having an interest in the Seaboard Coast Line RR, which was a conscious move to avoid the masses of BN, ATSF, UP, & SP N scale modelling that was happening in my part of the world back in the 1980's. Secondly it comes from exposure to the Aberdeen and Rockfish RR through the internet and the now aged Kalmbach publication "Railroads that you can model".
To show that my hands as well as my head has been busy these past few days below is photo of the kit-bash of a Pikestuff kit to form the basis of a small Tropicana distribution warehouse. This is a compressed version of the Cincinnati distribution center ( <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.freerails.com/view_topic.php?id=1033&forum_id=43">http://www.freerails.com/view_topic.php ... orum_id=43</a><!-- m --> ) and will use 40ft reefers (old Atlas plug door box cars collected off E-BAY) in an Inglenook style shunting puzzle.
It is placed on a non-T-TRAK table top module that is part of an initial foray into a module based ISL.

   

If things work well I will start up some posts over the next few weeks on not only the building kit-bash, but also the modules for the industrial switching layout.
Regards,
Andrew G.
