Stein's Minneapolis Warehouse district 1957 (HO)

I actually like how you extended the building out over that track, it will also give you another building to switch a loaded/empty car into/from...

That's the effect I was hoping for - that effect is one of the things I have admired about your GERN plant, doc. And like Josh, I was thinking about getting another destination within the plant.

Now, if I can pull off the effect of connecting the building on the inside of the main loop with the elevator/mill complex, I would have the following destinations for this one plant:
- hopper cars unloading along elevators
- assorted loads and empties in boxcars and on flatcars to the main factory (new part in black)
- boxcars to load flour (or Flux :-) from the old factory/warehouse (currently still being labelled "Hunts Baking Powder")
- and maybe a tank cars point at the innermost end of the warehouse track

We'll see. Thanks for your advice, guys!

Smile,
Stein
