I still want to have a quarry, or at least a gravel transload center, since those are very common in New England. I'll probably have that in Enfield, as well as the paper mill that's actually there (except larger, built with Walthers Modulars, styrene, and junk box parts) but it will be smaller. I'll still run a dedicated train, but you won't find any massive loaders and buildings. It will just be a big gravel pile with a front loader nearby. I'll buy a nice scale one for that... In the real Enfield, there's a tree covered hill in that location, so I can live with building a loading track there...I will be adding a depot and some buildings, and I'll have to add a river where part of Kimball Scrap is. I'll just build that around the river...I don't know what else I'll do for industry changes. I didn't bike to Canaan, so I can justify doing whatever I want there short of building a nuclear power plant (although nuclear waste cars on WRS track would be fun! [:P])Then I have a bridge or two to add to the Mascoma Lake Grade, and some different stuff in Mascoma. It doesn't look good with a New Englandy town right next to the steel engine house and Hyce Machinery. I'll put those structures in Enfield and make the town of Mascoma miles away from the tracks just like the real thing! Also, I may actually use pulpwood flats for Delery Pulpwood & Lumber traffic rather than gondolas, and use the gons for rock service. There were actually several prototype roads that did that, especially since it's larger rocks (small table-sized on an HO figure) and not really gravel.
