[[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by leighant</i> <br /><br />I more or less finished my doodle of a Santa Fe/Route66/Arizona plan to fit grandpacoyote's space. <br />[img]http://www.railimages.com/albums/kennethanthony/agz.jpg[/img] <br />http://www.railimages.com/albums/kennethanthony/agz.jpg <br /> <br />The double track mainline is level, with a four-track staging yard hidden under the scenery on two sides of the layout. Putting something other than mainline in front of the staging suggested a place to run a single track branch line that connects with the main at a junction town. I drew it as a lumber mill branch that sends several boxcars of lumber to the Santa Fe every few days. The layout operation would have a lot of run-through trains, a little local switching in the junction town, and run of a local up the branch. <br /> <br />I have since thought of another idea for grandpacoyote's space which fits in more of the things he suggested---maybe I can get it drawn up in a few days. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Leighant, <br /> <br />Hello, as I said to TZ above let me apologize for having not responded earlier, I am afraid sickness kept me away. But, I’m back and raring to go. <br /> <br />I like this plan; it could easily be Holbrook with the logging spur being the Apache Railway line up to Snowflake. Very well done, Sir! I must admit that somehow during being sick I completely missed this post and only caught TZ’s plan above and your Aha!’ plan below. So this is a pleasant surprise to me; I’m going to download the picture and print it out and look over it. Hopefully I’ll have an intelligent response and questions for you in a few days. <br /> <br />However, let me say thank you! I deeply appreciate all the help you and the other folks here have been, it’s a great encouragement for someone still very green to all this to get such fine advice and feedback from the seasoned guys. Thank you again for sharing your time with a FNG. [;)] <br /> <br />Peace. <br />Coyote <br /> <br />more below...
