I have been tempted serval times to do something with the citrus industry. That was a quite natural choice for my SoCal layout too.
The internet is full with lots of beautiful old wooden citrus processing facilities. But they are all gone. Todays citrus facilities do not fit on small ISLs. It would be like doing coal mining at the powder river on my layout.....
Model railroading would be much easier for me if I would model the transition period. The variety of small rail served industries was much bigger.
The road is simplified, green base ground cover and fence added. The empty space in the background will be covered by a flat background building.
