[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Texas Zepher [quote]QUOTE: I like how the freight platform worked out in the last variant but think keeping the storage tracks parallel and aligned is more prototypical.[/quote] You must not have seen a photo I put up in another thread. parallel and aligned are often oxymoronic[sic] with prototype. [img]http://www.walkersquawker.net/images/curveylocotrack.jpg[/img] [/quote] Good point TZ. My prototype had both: [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i301/3373GP4NR/c497d0b6.jpg[/IMG] The five tracks on top are the MBr (Marginal RR at the time of this map's publication) while those below the "plaform" [sic] are the PRR (PFtW & C). Now for two more questions: What are the group's thoughts of putting back a track opposite the freight station to be the real PRR main line interchange so that the connecting track in the center can be kept clear? [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i301/3373GP4NR/3dd3e5cb.jpg[/IMG] In looking over my traffic, it seems I really don't have any need for hoppers. That don't seem right for 1961. If I make the upper left industry the brick/clay plant, the center one a steel fabricator, and the upper right a chemical plant, there's no place to realistically run hoppers, unless I want to put a coal trestle somewhere. Ideas anybody? KL
