This time in On30. (/me listens as the mouse clicks spirit everyone away to other topics)
As many of you know…I have an On30 4x8 layout that is based on the original Gorre & Daphetid. Its finally in a permanent home, and I’m expanding the line. In one direction I have a pretty good idea where the main will lie and how it will operate. The other direction though…the “Daphetid Branch” of the layout I’m having difficulty with. The Original Site of Gorre I have came up with the name “Midway”.
Midway is being expanded since I have room avalible to eliminate some close clearance issues, and I would like to locate an TT and Engine house here. The Question at hand:
“Do I want to locate THE MINE at Midway, and treat the branchline as just that, a branchline with a bucolic little switching area at the end of line, OR do I want to treat Midway as a marshalling yard, with THE MINE at the end of the branch, with a change of motive power occurring at Midway, as well as locating Engine facilities and some light industires at Midway (Of course a team track, and Company store, mebbe a barrel factory that ships casks to a distillery somewhere along the line)”
Discuss!
