This is good stuff. Thanks for the link as it will give me some more to think about. Although, I pretty sure that I would be the bonehead who would accidently break that roof off while reaching in to un-couple a car.
I do, however, like the idea of the canyon effect.

Quote:Funny you mentioned just modeling the loading dock for one of your industries. I had considered doing something on the same order, but it would have a roof over it with the support bracing modeled and perhaps a little bit of a structure wall on either end to enhance the illusion of the structure being off the layout. Something like the open/covered dock you see in this Bing view: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=n9c73y89bq4g&lvl=20.049886764155737&dir=182.8161676657165&sty=o&form=LMLTCC">http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=n9c73y ... orm=LMLTCC</a><!-- m --> Might give you another idea or two.
