Creating RR Paperwork part 2
Wow has it really been 3+ years since my last blog entry?! Sorry about that. The reality is I kinda lost my modeling mojo along with "life" getting in the way. The LAJ still exists though! :)
I've settled on my modern waybill template (simulating a simplified computer print out of the waybill), so thought I share some examples.
The format for the bill is (top to bottom):
-Originating railroad who created the bill with the ACI code (readily available via ORER's, etc)

Creating RR paperwork
Not that I am anywhere close to having any sort of Ops Session (though the gameplan is to have the first one - hopefully - next year), it is fun to at least think about how the layout is to be operated.
Finally, a track plan...
Finally took the time to draw up a track plan of my little switching layout.
Hill's Pet food plant
Spent last night finishing the track work for the Hill's Pet Nutrition plant in Commerce CA. It's situated on a 2'x5' or so peninsula off the layout and will be one of the key anchor industries on my LAJ. The plant was served by two tracks, for a total of six car spots.
Los Angeles Junction - progress
A little background... I am modeling the Los Angeles Junction Railway in HO, circa 1985. From the BNSF web site:
LAJ in HO... beginnings
Going to play around with this blogging thingie... so, hi :)
Took the first step of constructing the Los Angeles Junction in HO. If it looks like a Free-mo module it is (or was - its being re-purposed).
