Talking about having a bad day. That "target" is a switch stand.. What probably happen is the engine split the switch by picking the points.This can because by the switch handle not being secured by the switch handles latch.

The "main" doesn't matter..This is a urban industrial branch in Columbus,Oh---well suppose to be..sign1 Thanks for the suggestion..It does have merits and something to mull over.

OOPS! I missed the question yesterday. I haven't order the paper mill yet-that's the next order.Those are fairly large buildings.I know that one-the main builing-is close to 12" long. The buildings will face each other but,on seperate tracks. ------------------- Yup - but inside or...

Looks good so far.. I would like to keep each industry on seperate tracks..I think this can be done if the face each other and a switch was added to each siding. We can add industries across from the yard area as well.

Josh,At the warehouse where I worked we had one of those strapping tools as well as a shrink wrap machine that would spin the skid while shrink wrapping it. We called it the saran station-confused a lot of new hires.You should have seen them looking for it and of course if they ask they was...

True but, http://www.uline.com/Grp_59/?pricode=wg210

Josh,Indeed brick and concrete blocks can be banned with metal strapping. Also strapping comes in several sizes from light to heavy duty.. As far as shrinkwrapped pallets they are not as stable as metal strapping but,seems to be all the rage these days like cardboard skids..

Sounds good but,the switchback in the upper hand corner needs eliminated as I will need 2 tracks for the paper mill that will be located there.A three track overflow yard should suffice.. You are welcome to give it a whirl if you like and have the time.

First things are still moving along on my N Scale layout..Of course there are changes. -------------------- First since I like the NS and CSX I decided to model a "paper" railroad own by both roads thus I present the Columbus Belt & Terminal.This is a freelance 18 mile industry branch located...

I like my little choo choo dipped in Bar B-Que sauce..

And the rail enthusiast does nothing to save those locomotives.:curse:

I went to the Milan Train show today and picked these 2 Atlas GP15-1s on a 2 fer deal that made my jaw drop..I also picked up a MRC Tech2 power pack for $10.00 The GP15s will crawl from tie to tie from the box and they look super.

Very nice!:thumb:

Matt,I took those pictures in '62.Those were 2 of my favorite railfanning spots.The C&O was the busiest of the two. I surprise to hear NS has kept the double main..

Matt,Let's turn back the clock..Here is a NYC train approaching the Scioto bridge(South side)..The track in the foreground is C&O(exHV). This was taken North of the Greenlawn Ave bridge..The train in the back ground is a C&O(exHV trackage) The old HV Mound St yard is to the North just...

Matt,That will be NYC track to Thurston,Hobson and into Charleston. Squid,That would be correct it was also a industry holding yard.If you look to the East you will see the NYC/N&W crossing at Bannon..This is where the NYC and later PC interchange cars with the N&W..It was not usual to see...

Matt,Its been long while since I visited my old stomping grounds..I do recall the NYC SW7s or the rare GP7 assign to that local. I seem to recall Marion Rd parallel these industries from Parsons to(I believe) Fairwwood. Any information you can pass along will be deeply appreciated.

Still highly unusual for me especially in N.sign1 As of now I am still going with the upgraded plan you did on page 2 of that thread...

Since returning to N Scale as my primary scale I find myself more relax but,in a complete different mode.I haven't added sun visors,plows,mu hoses or uncoupling bars to my HO Athearn locos yet,I find I want to add those details to my Atlas locomotives.I have body mounted couplers on several...

sign1 I gotta agree with you! sign1 When I was operating a forklift for a living and a truck didn't show you should have heard my radio..Every 15 minutes - #15(my number) 15 here Has the shipment from Dogma arrived yet? not yet.. It hasn't??!!! Get hold of me when it...
