Dennis, any time your in the neighborhood, your most welcome to visit…
Joe, I originally wrote an article on the Bluestone Southern RR, and how it was laid out, to operate with a computer car forwarding program called ““Railop””…
The first page basically shows how the railroad flows, and subsequent pages tell about how it will operate and so forth…
The 7th page shows track plan diagrams of the basement, starting in the upper left hand corner, where the tracks come in from the outside… The track plan is for the lower level of the train tables, and includes a few coal mines, a Poultry plant called ““Ric’s Chicks””, and ““Matheson Paper Mill””, along with a marshalling yard for the unit coal trains to set up on…
The second diagram shows where the tracks come out of the house, coming into Bluefield…
All the tracks on those two pictures of track plans are down…
here’s the link to the article:

ok, if it don’t link, then cut and paste…
The third track plan shows how phase one will eventually be on the outside… I estimate, that I probably have 50% of the track down as of this time… Hmmm, ok, maybe 2/5ths to half placed of the track placed…
I have had help from Club members… Ric & Jan Golding, Dan & Rita…
Ric was very instrumental in helping me get trackage place on the Bluefield area… And helping me ballast the past couple of years, before a club meeting… Dan and his wife, Rita also helped ballast last year…
My wife and I have mostly done all the retaining wall work…
