I'm currently working on a small N scale 3x4 foot Mining layout. I'm a college student trying to continue my interest in the hobby in my small apartment. I'm trying to figure out what I need for my roster of cars and for any vehicles that might look good on site. Here's a description of the layout to give you an idea of what I'm doing: It's 1993. The main line runs down one long side of the layout. I have a passing siding and a spur coming off the main that leads up a hill and around the mountian to a small coaling operation. I have 4 holding tracks, a very small engine house, and office, and some other small buildings on the site. There a pretty cool kitbashed coal facility with two tracks running through it and a door where semi trucks could also pull through. Are Semi's used for anything in this typw of operation? If so, how? My holding tracks hold about 10 small hoppers each. I have those. What other kinds of cars would be there? Do I need a boxcar at all of anything for parts, etc, such as a flat car or something? And would a semi be totally out of place here? This probably isn't in an extremely high mountion, hard to reach place so assuming trucks could get there, would they? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,, Chad
