I had a fire department on my layout that was put there back in late 1990s. I never did like it and I am just now getting around to doing something about it. here is the beginning of what is going to be a manufacturing shop that will have truck and rail service.

Geez, Lester! Those pliers are gargantuan!! You must have huge hands! 357

But it looks like it will be an interesting structure ...

... and you lose a static, non-railroad related entity and gain a rail-served industry at the same time!!

Good job ...

I'll be watching ... and enjoying!
