N Scale Modular - Los Tanimals (a.k.a Bob's Blue Circle Pickles and Branstone Cement Works)

The Bob's Blue Circle Pickles and Branstone Cement Works complex in the town of Los Tanimals, is a double module, measuring a total of 8' by 2'. It is unusual, in that the module to the west joins to the "front" and that to the east joins to the "back", thus:

As well as Bob's Blue Circle Pickles and Branstone Cement, there is Dunno-Watt Inc, the Fake News radio station, King's Scrapyard, several other industries and a small passenger depot. Spanning from one end of the module to the other is an overhead electric "inter-urban" shuttle service which runs a regular shuttle between communities at the extremities of the modules. This line can continue with an "add-on" module that attaches to the front of the Eastern Compact Yard to add a third stop: Tornado.

Los Tanimals and the Compact Yards have been carefully designed so that they can fit together with all their supporting equipment in a single large estate car, simplifying transport. Two or three operators are required and the layout has been very well received at a number of shows.
