John has kindly contributed this tip.
In a recent Tip we learned from Robert Anderson about saving space by
having spur tracks and/or a hill leading to a large industry that is out
of view and not really on the layout. Another way of doing this is to
use building fronts. It takes a bit more space, but the front of
the industry is the only part actually there, with the spur tracks
leading off to the back of the industry. Most "shake-the-box" kits can
be used, and store fronts are also very good for this purpose. But as
this part of the structure is directly at the edge of your layout, paint
the inside of the structure flat black so anyone viewing your
trains from the back will not be distracted.
