Layout update

After being ether snowed in or not working much I have had a chance to do a little more work on the BOF building on the layout. I color coted the piping and did a little weathering. I added safety striping around the building also. I still like to find warning sign that are used in steel mills and add them along with lighting. As always I'm open to suggestions. 

The Plan

Thanks for the feedback and encouragement.  I've been lurking here for a few years and one thing I've noticed is that MRH is not like the other forums in terms of attitude.  There's one forum in particular which I won't name...let's just say it caters to my scale...that I haven't been to in a couple of years because I grew tired of the crap.  But I digress...

Barrie Collingwood Railway in N-Scale. Sort of.

While living in Barrie, Ontario about ten years ago, I noticed several covered hoppers spotted on a siding at a facility which I hadn’t previously paid much attention to.  I had figured that the trackage in and around Barrie was completely unused since being abandoned by CN in 1996 so I was quite surprised to see evidence of railroad activity.  I went right to the Google and found scattered information and photographs of what I found out was a municipally owned shortline called the Barrie Collingwood Railway.

How car card and waybill work part 2

This video goes into more detail about my Car Card & Waybill System. Car forwarding systems are a great way to add operational interest into a model railroad and give it a sense of realism and prototypical purpose.

Buffalo Line Operating Session

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3sxMeqhRm0&feature=youtu.be

Here is a link to the Pennsy layout operating session I noted in the pictures of me operating the yard engine on Steve Mallory's Buffalo Line. Rather dramatic, but that's what the photographer had in mind.
