Inspired by Josh (Trucklover) and a sale on Walthers Modulars components, I am building a structure based on the 3-story building plans found here -> <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.walthers.com/exec/page/modulars/3story">http://www.walthers.com/exec/page/modulars/3story</a><!-- m -->
I have enlarged the building, giving it a bigger indoor unloading space for rail, and turned the "back" of the building into the front by moving the main entrance doors.
I need some suggestions for what this industry does. At this point in the planning process , it will feature:
The building is late Victorian in origin, although I am aiming for the 1920s and 30s. I am open to some further modification or addition of other details if needed.
So what does Hamilton-Paice do? I am sure that Gern flux figures in the process somewhere , but other than that, I am stumped.
Thanks for you suggestions!

I have enlarged the building, giving it a bigger indoor unloading space for rail, and turned the "back" of the building into the front by moving the main entrance doors.
I need some suggestions for what this industry does. At this point in the planning process , it will feature:
- indoor loading/unloading for rail and trucks
- outdoor loading unloading for rail and trucks (no specific unloading dock for rail though)
- freight elevator from outside ground level
- outside winch from dock level
- chimneys
- roof vents
- skylights on some of the flat roof
- a water tower
- no other outbuidlings planned (not yet anyway)
- no onsite power supply (i.e. it's attached to power in the "regular" way)
- no special unloading facilities (e.g. tank car or hopper unloading) are visible - could be inside though
