To be honest, paper plants are probably one of the most interesting industry to model for this single fact.<br /><br />About E&M... Quite similar operation indeed! This is the most basic level of railroading, yet so rich in details and subtle in operation. I've yet to decide what I'll do with the hobby room. I still have Connors in the back of my head and still have to figure out if I'll put Harlem Station in operation once for all.<br /> Matthieu Lachancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06812873374306516493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5807818366755087334.post-55196415562177398562019-05-15T20:21:38.290-04:002019-05-15T20:21:38.290-04:00Thanks Karl!

Indeed, this layout uses many specific spots to make sure it isn't just about shuffling random cars in random numbers.Matthieu Lachancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06812873374306516493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5807818366755087334.post-26025869923579125832019-05-15T07:30:11.270-04:002019-05-15T07:30:11.270-04:00Interesting.

Quite varied traffic, too. <br />A similar operation took place on the Edgemoor and Manetta in South Carolina, albeit with their own steam loco, and I think only coal hoppers and boxcars.

The use of the interchange as both staging and as a job is really clever, and I like having a large industry as a focal point with some open country running between it and the staging. This framework would lend itself beautifully to any number of different industries, particularly those with sure spots. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing!<br />KarlChurlishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310260779860829746noreply@blogger.com
