My own little slice of Appalachia

[Anonymous]

Here it is, a work in progress, I've been hammering out the details for quite a while, Its a C&O branchline serving a small remote company town and several industrys, and of course a tipple. It's a one man operation basicly, 2 trains make turns on the line, one is the Wayland shifter that works the Wayland/Yuntani (Get the refferance?) tipple upgrade from the town, Using a scenic block between the town and the mine scene I figure I can get some sense of distance. A local works the 7 Industrys in Sandhill. On an irregular basis a passenger train consisting of a Coach, RPO and a caboose stops at the small shelter in Sandhill. Staging is 8 feet long and different trains are assembled using a fiddle system.

Weyland Yutani? They haven't uncovered anything unusal in the mines, have they? [(-D]

Nice track plan. That should be a great layout, when it's finished. [^]

other than a run around track for the yard at the top of the layout it looks complete . nice plan

The passing siding in town is the catch-all run around for the whole layout. There just wasnt room for a run around at the mine.

Some railroads used old passenger cars to take coal miners to work and bring them back to the town.In southern Indiana the Milwaukee ran these commuter trains till the 1950's.
