Help with Industry Sidings/Spurs
I am currently designing my layout expansion/rebuild. As part of this process I am identifying the industries that my model railroad will serve. One of the things I am trying to determine is what I will need for sidings for the various industries and some cases what items they would ship and what they would receive. He here is a list of the industries that I have decided will be part of the new RLK&T layout.

The following industries are planned but I have not purchased the appropriate kits:

I have several other industries in mind but have not planned them out yet. When I do I will post them.
