Building a $500 Layout
#6
Justin, may I make a few tiny suggestions?

If you make the ready mix plant an aggregates company, you can put in a mix of cars going in (hoppers of various sized gravel; covered hoppers of cement, sand, or fly ash).

The Engine Storage for the short line could be switched to a scrap yard or a lumber yard (although, you can add a lumber yard to the aggregates company to make it a builder supply). You cold then store the engine at the end of track like on the Liberty Industrial or park it on the leads for the manufacturing company or ready mix plant.

The road by the end of track should go near the end of track should be at the 3 o'clock point of the plan, that way you can use the road as a marker for when to stop and your switch lead for Able Manufacturing could be long enough for an NW2 and 2 cars. Of course if you want, making the roadway at the right end an elevated overpass, thus creating a view block.
