The layout is primarily a freelanced layout not based on any particular location. This means the locations and industries on the layout are not representative of anything in particular in the real world. This gives me the freedom to model areas, industries, etc.. without being locked into a particular locale.

All information is subject to change as I develop the location, industries, towns, etc…
