My layout 12X8 L shape features a sawmill, intermodal terminal, and a transload/transfer center.
1. The Transload Center... Containers go into boxcars or vise versa... Railcars are loaded and unloaded bla bla... You get the idea
2. Another shot with some yard goats. PC is Peninsula Central, a fictional shortline.
3. The sawmill, a few buildings will be added later.
4. Hungry?!
1. My crappy downtown corridor! A grocery store, bank, and the town offices.
2. The trackside general store gets some more stock from Pepsi a CP stack train waits to depart.
Hi Chris, I have to agree with Rex's comments, all you need now is some background paints and scatter some ground foam and of course a little bit of junk for realism.
I would like to second everything that has been said here so far. You seem to be on the right "track" with your layout. You have a great forum here to advance your layout as you see fit. I have not been a member for long but these guys are incredibly helpful.
And I really Dig the "Falcon Service" trailer in your intermodal shot!!
