Aight! We are in! and I can really start planning in earnest. I have the basic idea of what I wanna do with the yard and the Old Shop… Here is the basic area where the debauchery will occur…the old white building will be gone…the Garage is to the far right. Garage is a loose term, used just cause thats what the structure was built as back in the 40’s, now its more storage.
Now heres the plan I got. The plant to the left of the plan is the Holly Tree that appears in the backround of the Old Shop building…that marks the farthest I can extend in that direction and maintain vehicle access to the property.
Not to scale of course…and nothing really set in stone other than the position of the Old Shop and the Yard and Wye. The Concept is very EBTish…think of the Yard as Orbinsonia. All trains come through there. The East Line leads to mining and timbering resources will be the domain of Large Geared Power working mine shifters. The West Line is the original part of the line, (historically speaking) and connects the Yard to the Interchange with the World. Some scenic features I need to work in is a Tunnel…and Industrially speaking a Quarry and a Lumber Mill. Also of Note, the Cutoff doesn’t exist operationally, Merely a concession to display running,breaking in locos, and cycling batteries.
