Ray;
I'd say you have a lot of possibilities for different structure styles. Some concrete block, some brick, some a mixture of block and metal siding, even all metal siding structures. Just seems to be the area and how the industrial park developed. For instance, here are two nice industrial spurs I found in Commerce, CA: http://maps.google.com/?ll=33.990097,-11...7&t=k&z=18. As you follow each one to the end, you'll notice that most of the structures are not very tall, and all have a sort of "family" appearance, yet there is some variance in construction styles. Here's another one in Evansville, IN, that has a lot of variety as to the structure types, which were built at different times - even a large feed mill toward the end. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Evansville...a&t=k&z=17. Just look around various industrial areas in different parts of the country; pick out structures that appeal to you and go with it.
On my yet to be finalized switching layout, I have structure mockups that vary in height from 2.5 to 4 inches in height and they look just fine. They are also based on structures that I've found in different parts of the country, but they are structures and industries that appeal to me and fit with my equipment types. I love freelancing!
