I don't know about these never being done before - this hobby has been going on a long time, and the vast majority of the work has never been published. That is changing with the magazines, and now the internet becoming more available. As phil pointed out, MR did do the "Over the Hill" article, and selective compression is a kind of "partial" that has been practiced for years. I think Tony Koester did the roundhouse example, as he wanted to showcase the servicing of the locos, not the roundhouse. But they are interesting ideas for sure! I have one other that you might want to include, that I have been using on my layout. I have a station, and some heavyweight passenger cars. I also have 18" radius curves out of necessity. Now the long cars look a little funny on the curves, and running a real passenger train is not really possible. So the car sits at the station as if it is being prepared for a trip, but it never leaves... I guess that is a "partial operation", not a partial industry, scene, or structure... But I hope it counts [;)] I enjoy your posts - they always make me think! [:D] Andrew
