an angled end wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis design allows the structure to fit alongside the inside or outside of a curved railroad siding, making use of space that might otherwise be

currently receiving shipments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOpen loading doors also provide opportunities to add separately purchased interior details, stacks of lumber, pallets, and other freight materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a busy industrial scene, position railroad freight cars beside the loading areas and delivery trucks near the warehouse

unloading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a steam-era railroad, use appropriate boxcars and flatcars to represent lumber shipments arriving from regional sawmills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a later diesel-era railroad, bulkhead flatcars and centerbeam flatcars can represent more modern lumber transportation, where appropriate to the modeled

industrial businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe four corrugated-metal structures can be used as storage warehouses, railroad supply buildings, equipment storage sheds, or supporting structures at larger industrial complexes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, the buildings can complement a grain processing facility, steel mill, paper mill, sawmill, fuel distributor, or
