I'm learning a lot about the iron mines & furnaces in the Adirondacks as I plan the mining section of the new Muddy Creek Railroad. Gathering photos and track plans for the iron operations around Lyon Mountain in Northern New York. I need a fleet of N Scale ore cars like these: http://railroad.union.rpi.edu/rolling-stock/ore-cars/LC&M-ore-cars-builders.jpg They are available in HO scale by Westerfield. Any suggestions for N? No plans for docks in the near future, just ore traffic from mine to the furnaces and processed iron south on the D&H. Could incorporate some ore docks if I modeled the mines around Port Henry on Lake Champlain, but the RPI club already does that. The facilities and rail yards require a huge amount of compression. If there is anyone familiar with the Lyon Mountain/ Republic Steel Mine, I have alot of rail-related operating questions. If you're interested in the Edmond F. model advertised at Walthers, you might check this thread first: http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?page=-1&TOPIC_ID=21218&REPLY_ID=198234#198234 (someone was not a happy camper.)
