HO in 4x2, Portsmouth, NH

[marti427]

Soooo I changed things up, with the layout being so small I could cram two rail served industries but I chose to focus only on one. The food processing plant offers me to give it a bit of detail with the truck yard and the factory plant itself. With it being a food industry it offers a wide range of cars I can run on the layout between different boxcars, both refrigerated and standard, tank cars, and maybe hoppers? I have two options and a question when it comes to the hoppers, do food plants get hoppers often and how are they normally stored? Are there silos or big storage areas or how does that work. I will use the middle car location for a hopper or if I can't figure out a good answer or a prototype to model it after I will maybe do a transload area on one of the team tracks. I know the tankers for food plants can easily be modeled as many just have hoses that they connect then run into the warehouse. Below is the pictures, feel free to comment (the layout is still in the vary, vary rough stages though.
