An online extra from the June 2013 Model Railroader
Back in the February 1994, Clyde Maybee Jr. showed how he modeled the industry on his layout. Click on the link to download a PDF of the original article.

What happened to the Link to the pdf?
Did any of you get the dimension omissions question answered? I downloaded the original article from Kalmbach, got in touch with MRR Editorial, left questions on the answer machine and am still waiting for a reply. Anybody notice that on many of the drawings it indicates an n scale? Is this what is represented or is it a conversion number? I Love the industry and want to include it on my bucket list 22 x 17 foot HO layout but would sure like to get some answers before I kick the bucket!
The Funny thing about this artical is that I lived in Apex a few years ago, I never knew about this industry. Great artical, once I build my layout, I will be sure to add this industry.
Yup. A basic materials list, dimensions etc would be be nice for the facilities load/unload/storage. Any generic PikeStuff style building would be a great start for the building… but what about the otherstuff?
Also, .pdf files are pretty useless for so called 'smartphones'… Have to download it for printing at home, or wait and do both later. How about the darn article here for us to read!
good idea for any sort of layout, but I'd like a material list and project dimensions: it would be a very nice idea. Thanks
Great article but I agree with the rest of providing all the info about the project.
Yes, a dimensions and the material list would be helpful. This model would fit just about anywhere on a layout. These are the kinds of articles I wish MR had more of. They take a lot of guess work out of modeling.
Where is the dimensions or the material list? You guys should have more included in the article, not just show and tell. The scratch building articles back then had alot more to them. Maybe thats why the magazine is less than half the size it was back then.
Thanks, I'm 14 years old and this will be a great addition to my layout. This is also my first structure i will scratch build
I loved both articles (6/13 and 2/94). I'm going to take a look at producing this industry in N Scale.
This article is fanrastic. I have collected MRR magazines over the years and since retirement I finally have time to refrer to the "Scratchbuilding" articles and enhance my layout. The proponderance of scaled drawings in the magazines have been RR stations. While completely understanding the importance of these structures others have been of lesser importance. Trackside industries in styrene kit form can cost antwhere from $20 to $200. Craftsmen would appreciate an increase in houses, 1890's (or so) village stores, and industrial buildings and warehouses in HO scale in as manty issues as possible. The magazine has shrunk in size since the 1990's where I have found the intersting structures. John Johnson
Great Idea — How can I change this from HO to O gauge?
Nice job !!! Wish I had the talent.
Thanks for the link to the Feb. 1994 article describing the liquid asphalt terminal.
Good article, is the process similar for trucks to trains?
Spot an industry just like this in Tucson, AZ called Western Emulsions. East Phoenix has one even larger.
