@Mike: Nice idea! I think one must always have in mind of to pull out thing when doing design process. I like your idea. The problem is that my backdrop have to fit within shelf bracket. Maybe I should have made it shorter in height and do it like you said. At this point, I just want a backdrop to have the feeling things are moving in the right direction. I'm well aware I'll have to change it sooner or later. When this time comes, I'll follow your idea.

@jwb: Thanks! You've got a good imagination to see a city where BB boxes are sitting. But it's hard to try to figure out a layout without track!!! I've bought 7 foamcore boards during lunch break. I'll mock up the industries better.

Honestly, I'm not sure at all about the abattoir. It was located a mile away (on the shore of the aforementionned Canardière), far from housing and near the river. My father told me how it smell bad back in the 50's-60's. Anyway, at this point, no CAD drawings will help, only a good mock up. I particularly like the new industrial Avenue location. It's inspired by the Canadian Glassine crossing located a few hundred feet away on the prototype. It gives the feeling you really enter a industrial park.

Here's a picture I found yesterday showing my prototype near St. Lawrence Cement plant in the fifties (Joseph Testagrose always amazed me with his color shots). It gives you and idea of the feeling I want to catch for my industrial avenue setting. The plant was brand new on this setting.
