The two areas represent a major part of the switching operations for the layout and have two or more separate industries within each of them.
The Harrisburg area serves a few purposes, the first being a view block as you walk into the layout so that you cannot see the western portion or the layout, and also a "given" that I wanted to model a "street running scene in at least portion of the layout.
Below photo shows the structure as the view block:
The first step was to set out the buildings and the road network around the installed track work...
I'm using the Walthers - Modular Kit system to build these two industries. When finished they will view block this corner off from the western portion of layout (in the background).
Below is the work table setup to make the Walthers - Modular Kits into structures...
The above photos show one of the completed industries which is a three (3) storey warehouse building with side loading/unloading dock which will also have a paved rear unloading area too. This will support two 50' boxcars.
Scene below is the Harrisburg area looking back east, also with another industry in the background in place.
Next step will be to add the other structures, and begin working on adding the road network and paved areas around the structures...
