Shelf and Industries...

... some mixed building ;)

The module meeting gave a lot of inspiration... One project was a small shelf for the paperwork together with FRED and cardholders.

Next project is to build some more industries that use the teamtrack. Ma Bakers has earlier been located "of layout". A small bridge will connect to the roadcrossing right.
