OK, I'm not going to disagree that an ISL is prototypical. Lance Mindheim can point to an actual industrial spur in downtown Miami, and he shows that he's modeling it prototypically. However, not all railroads are good prototypes for ISLs. The Rio Grande narrow gauge is not a good prototype for an ISL. Neither is the NYO&W. Neither is its 21st century equivalent, Guilford. Westbrook, ME is largely a bedroom suburb that has a paper mill, but not an ISL style arrangement. I would actually challenge you or Alcanman to show me an "industrial park", defined as an area zoned for multiple industries, with active rail service, anywhere on Guilford.
You keep asking me to do research, but I seem to be the one who posts photos and links. Why not show us your own models, Brakie? How about photos of actual industrial parks you've taken lately? Seems to be a lot of talk but not much else.
