I finished my trackplan for the most part: [img]http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/n/b/nbc112/116.jpg[/img] The light gray parts will be paved and the dark gray ballast and gravel where appropriate. The two tracks of the mainline (at the top) are too close together, but that's nothing I can't fix easily. The track across teh bottom edge (the front) is just there for show and is a non-operating line from another railroad. It makes more sense when, and if, you could see it as part of the overall basement empire that lives only in my head. Plus it has to do with my pseudo-prototype. There are only two or three scructures, none of which are included in the plan. They are very small even in real life. My estimates for the one is 30' by 15' but like 60' tall. Everything that goes on here will be loading of covered hoppers directly from trucks, which doesn't require much in teh way of buildings, but does require that I scratchbuild quite a few of the little mobile conveyor things they have. The two removable wings on each side may be increased to a foot in depth and be given some sort of well mounted structure and detail. The left hand one, in the real world, would have an old 40' box car and what looks like a baggage car off their trucks and used as some sort of shed.
