Description
Industry planning and selection? Why do we even need a book on the subject? By their nature, switching layouts serve “industries”. That being the case, it makes sense to examine how we pick them and where to place them on our railroads.
The ultimate goal and the direction of this book is to guide you towards creating a balanced and plausible composition of industries that targets your specific interests without sliding to caricature.
We’ll go through a step-by-step process that hopefully will result in a creation that you find more satisfying. These steps will be:
-Understanding your specific areas of interest and layout goals.
-Understanding the characteristics of different industries, i.e. how to “classify them”.
-How to select industry candidates that fit your goals, interests, and space.
-How to weave them into a plausible composition on your available layout surface.
The book concludes with a detailed case study and design to illustrate the concepts.
