Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.


The May and June 1997 Model Railroader's have an excellent two part article on modeling the auto industry (pre-WWII and post WII). An older auto plant would have a variety of buildings representing many expansions. Modern plants might be more 'boring' structures, but the same can be said of any modern manufacturing plant to be honest. I'd say having a 'smorgesborg' style plant would be protypical at least through the mid 70's, even up to the early 80's.
