SynopsisIn this book by Tony Koester, Space-Saving Industries for Your Layout will inspire you to add small- to medium-sized industries and traffic to your layout., Ideas on how to creatively add small- to medium-sized industries and traffic to their layouts whether it's tucking a business into a corner of a small layout or arranging building fronts along a backdrop. Prototype photos, modeling tips, instructions, and inspiration on industries such as petroleum dealers, salvage and lumber yards, freight houses, and more. More than a dozen examples to get them started, making this book a great resource for anyone in the process of planning or building a layout.
. However what I was looking for where ideas on specific Industries and how to contact them onto a small layout. It spends an awful lot of time discussing how a locomotive servicing facility and similar operations on a yard bike repair in place and car scale operation give you opportunities for switching and therefore can be considered Industries. I am not overly fascinated with yard operations and so would more like a discussion of the Nuance of creating Industries, or representing industrial sites they didn't take up alot of space on a compact layout but allowed you operation interest. For example, how to model a steel mill with only a couple of feet. I certainly can figure it out myself and I have and I'm sure others can as well, but that's kind of what I figured the book was about and was looking for specific pointers from expert modelers more than a discussion of how yard operations can be considered Industries.
