Commercial Buildings

Scattered across the map, there are various large, rectangular buildings displaying interesting names such as "BenTach's Systemz". Many of these structures have somewhat humorous names and some contain references to certain aspects of the SCR community. There are many different types of Commercial Buildings, ranging from large, blocky structures to small downtown shops. This page contains a complete list of all the Commercial Buildings in SCR and the stories behind some of them.

Please note that the explanations behind most of these commercial buildings are just what is generally believed by the community. one of this has been confirmed.

Morganstown Branch

These commercial buildings are located on the Morganstown branch line. All but the last one can be found between Elsemere Junction & Berrily.

• VisitBodin - Department of Knowledge: This is one of three VisitBodin structures and was probably built for one of the Product Developer, thehazad9, in order for him to attract people to Bodin, his favorite station.
• Choc's Biscuits: This store is believed to be owned by the former Head of Platform Operations, chocolatesalty123.
• PizzabyBilly: This is perhaps the most famous of all the commercial buildings. PizzabyBilly is named in honour of the Head of Network Signalling, billythepet, who is revered throughout the community for his pizza. There is another PizzaByBilly located at Westercoast.
• BenTach's Systemz: This commercial building was almost certainly designed as a joke. It appears to be the headquarters of BenTach, a nonexistent imposter of the Innovations Director BanTech.
• James' M.O.T.s - M.O.T.s while you wait for a mate!: Little is known about the story behind this building. In the UK, M.O.T.s sometimes refer to a full-body medical exam, and also to test to make sure a vehicle is road-legal, but nobody really knows the true meaning.
• Berry's Berries of Berrily: This commercial station is located very close to Berrily, so the story behind its alliterative name is quite obvious. Interestingly, an unused track branches off of the Airlink tracks near this building and appears to collide with the structure's west wall. There are two buildings in Westercoast with similar names: Barry's Berries and Berry's Berries. This building could be named after Product Developer yrrebRBLX.
• Greenslade Security: Likely named after SirGreenslade who was a security officer at SCR before that rank was removed. While the building is located at East Berrily, it can be seen from Greenslade.

• Matty Studios: This commercial building appears to be the headquarters of Matty Studios, a development group owned by Mattyx2013.
