Some More Structure Tips
John has kindly contributed this tip.
In a recent Tip we learned from Robert Anderson about saving space by having spur tracks and/or a hill leading to a large industry that is out of view and not really on the layout. Another way of doing this is to use building fronts. It takes a bit more space, but the front of the industry is the only part actually there, with the spur tracks leading off to the back of the industry. Most “shake-the-box” kits can be used, and store fronts are also very good for this purpose. But as this part of the structure is directly at the edge of your layout, paint the inside of the structure flat black so anyone viewing your trains from the back will not be distracted.
