L&N Industrial Rail Spur

[FCIN]

Ed,This has to be one of the most thought provoking ISL topics I ever had the pleasure to read and participate in.

I know my Slate Creek plan was improved several times because of this discussion.

Its getting close to a Slate Creek revisited but,I think I will do the revisit topic as a update leading into a ISL build topic..There's three loose ends I need to do first and that is build the three rail served industries.

I favor having the industries built so I can fit the track to the structure.This saves a lot of oops! which leads to rework and a waste of time.

Well thanks Larry!

As for the structures; I've wondered about that aspect of it too, should I build the structures then lay the track or lay the track then build the structures. Besides frequently changing my mind about what industries I want to include; it looks like all my structures will have to be built from scratch or in a couple of cases just kit-bashed from available kits, but in that regard I can fit the structures to the track.

For the soft drink bottler, I'll just try and find one of those rather expensive Great West Models kits and use the wall sections to get the length and depth I need. The candy plant or bakery, as mentioned will be kit bashed from the Walther's kit. I wanted to use those storage silos from the Walther's kit on something, but right now that's sort of up in the air.

You'll have to let us know what sort of industries you plan on having. Maybe I've run across an interesting prototype some where that you might want to base one or more of them on. Lord knows I've spent enough time looking around on Bing and Google!
