ISL 2016 - Thinking out loud

[SSWUPinSA]

I've been reading a re-reading LM's LAJ and other blogs as I feel I have some ways to go before I have something that can be passed off as realistic. LM seems to always try and have the fronts of the buildings included on both rear and front industries, this makes it all seem more real. i have only ever had ta slice of an industry on the front side of the layout and think I need to try lower the amount of track and make room for more realistic buildings...

   

All the buildings in the front are non rail served.
