Whilst we all ponder the corporate identity, I have had to move on with other things. Actually, I still have to get hold of the laser decal sheets I need so I can't go forward on the loco front for now, anyway.

I am in the process of planning for the industries that are to be in the town. This has two aspects.

1. Analyse the freight cars that I have to see if
     a) I have the right mix of cars and
     b) that I have some industries for them all to serve.

The is another of the great model railroads of the Dixie Rails group.  Great operations and layout design.  Built switches in place buy printing Fast Track diagrams and gluing them into place and building on top of them.

I have a stub ended switching yard at the Wilmington, DE, terminus of my model railroad.  It is a compressed version of the P&R/RDG yards.  The era is 1900-1905.  The yard currently has a main track with a runner next to it, one double ended track and 4 stub ended tracks.  To increase flexibility, I would like to convert a stub ended track to an additional double ended track.  There are several options I have come up with in varying degrees of complexity.  I have my own ideas and have solicited some from various people, I thought I would throw out severa

It's been a while since I posted anything, so I thought it was time for an update.  I have settled on a plan that I think fits the space I have very well.  I moved my location about 50 miles northwest to focus on the old Milwaukee Road mainline between Milwaukee and Portage.  This area was relegated to branch line/backup main service earlier in it's life.  I am focusing on three areas for my layout.
