@ Everyone! Thanks, Great photos and discusstion! The Director of Decor will be very pleased. I'm going to need time to read thoroughly through. Edit: The area on the layout for agriculture will be about 6"s by 8' with the Gandg wending its way through though it could overlap here and there. Maybe a hydroponic factory could receive special tank car of ingredients from one fo the farms requiering a bit of switching.
The "Rock City" on the barns is an attraction outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee. It's been around for a while; the original "HO Railroad That Grows" had such a barn on the layout in one of its phases. Can you really "See Seven States From Rock City"? Well... https://www.seerockcity.com/
Yes! Rock City was, may still be, at and in the base of Lookout Mountain, across the Tennessee River from Chattanooga. On clear days you can see seven (7) states from the top of Lookout Mountain. I've been there and done it. States are: TN, KY, VA, NC, SC, GA, and AL.
