Development Notes

The four main lots fit seamlessly together to form one large freightyard, but the whole thing is very modular. You can use each piece on its own or combine them in different ways for further seamless combinations. For those who want to place only one lot at any time (or scatter them across their network), there is a 1x5 endpiece (pure eycandy) with a logical fence-layout (and some props) that can be used on the right end (or left, by turning it 'upside down', though the left side has a 'natural' end in most configurations).

Install

Just move the files into the 'Plugins' directory under My Documents/Sim city 4.

Uninstall

Simply bulldoze any of these lots in your cities, then remove the file(s) from the plugin directory.

Usage

Just plop these lots wherever you deem appropriate ;-)

Disclaimer

As with all things from the internet, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I tested the lots and they work fine for me. No one but you is to be held responsible if your computer is subject to termination of any kind. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to join the simpeg forums.
