Here is a couple of pictures of the last section of bare plywood that needs finishing. I'm looking for ideas. This a 2X9 foot area. I run all scale size equipment with Kadee couplers, the boxcar in photo is a Weaver 50' car. I change this area a couple of times a year keeping the same track configuration.
Thank you
Clem

Your layout has a woodsy theme to it, this area could be a sawmill, box/pallet factory, etc.
Takes a lot of fuel to run those trains. How about a engine and diesel facility?
Does either view or access matter? If you put some larger facilities there, for which there seems to be adequate space, might they get in the way of access to some area of the layout? Maybe block a view of something else you want to highlight?
Where it is located will not block view of other areas, It is also viewed from 3 sides. It connects to industrial area via a wooden trestle.
At one time it was an engine facility, I just had it as an Amtrak rolling stock repair
Along time ago it had a saw mill, I could try that again I forgot all about that.
One time it was a structural steel and pipe yard yard
Once a year I switch from diesel era to steam era
Keep ideas coming you'll wake up my brain cell
How about a Load-Unload Area for Truc-Trains?

Hey Chuck I can do that for my steam era piggy back, especially once I get all the rails level with a paved or gravel surface.
Clem, here all this time, I thought you didn't have any areas of bare plywood. You certainly were able to hide that well. The plan you came up with looks good. That is a good idea that you could change to other use whenever you widh.
@clem k posted:Here is some photos of how I finished the last section. I just made a big flat area with concrete flush with the rail. I can change the business as much as I want to. Right now it's a container yard. Next week something else.
thats some nice work
