MER Clinic: Designing Industries for Your Model Railroad

This clinic uses a systematic approach and questions to help model railroaders select industries for their model railroads. Through a series of questions and photos, we will look at a number of ideas related to the selection of what kinds of industries that should be or could be on your model railroad, how to increase car traffic to your industries, and you will understand there is more to industry selection than "going to a hobby shop and picking a box off of a shelf". There are industries in the real world that are one building, to industries that take a large part of a community, we will talk about all of them. This clinic also illustrates with photos of many industry ideas from other layouts and what other model railroaders are doing.
