Thank you for the wonderful thoughts, I have another industry to add to the thread. I recently bought some Jaeger loads for flats and gons. These are wooden wheels with cabeling, coils of wire, telephone poles and Heavy lumber. I also will be using Chooch's new Oil rig gondola pipe/supply load as a sort of a fill-in as a "natural gas" supply rack. I suppose a team track with a walthers over head, and another track with a simple dockside ramp with a small fence to secure the office and grounds particturly the very large transformer that is being loaded by a rented crane on another siding. Some substation infrastructure, coal, oil, propane and electric company trucks and workmen will fill out the scene. Operation probably will be simple, Gons, flats, and a occasional boxcar with tools, vehicle and transformer oil etc would work well here. One could deliver consumeables (oil, coal or propane) by truck or rail as homes in the 50's used all three for heat, hot water etc.(not all at once, the utility bills would be astronomical) Just a new industry for your line to maintain your electric, gas and telecommunications. Hope you like it. Lee
