on aug.10th 2012 i had the privilege to visit the "mariani distributing" plant in phoenix az. this facility is part of my peavine sub layout. i actually modeled the structure before i had the visit, so i had to make a few adjustments & add some other structures.the pics i have attached shows the model & the prototype.
