I have hammered out a Feed and Seed Schedule which I think works. I am not trying to be true to prototype TOO much but wanted to have a reasonable amount of traffic supporting this Feed and Seed. The inbounds: Sacks Grain Doors (Wood and Paper) Drums mty *See note Baler Twine Fence Posts Barbed and electric fence wire Fasteners all kinds (Includes nuts, bolts, screws, nails and washers) Portable fuel cans all kinds (Jerrycans?) Small chain and cabling on reels Pallets Small equiptment batteries    "          "            Parts and tires Grease and Lube supplies Fuses Hitches all kinds Tools small Welding supplies For clarity I consider one inbound a boxcar load for the month. I am planning 4 cycle bills for ops and think that week to week the number of inbounds per operating session will vary slightly. Since I only have 6 spots at the feed and seed I plan a side track to hold excess cars. *Note, I am considering tank cars of Anhydrous Ammonia delivering to small storage tanks for local farmers to use but this material is a modern era commodity and not a steam era? Some clarification will be helpful. The Feed and Seed is next to a small storage building and a older elevator. There is a bigger Elevator nearby that handles bulk shipments and a scale. I was thinking I can have the Feed and Seed "Bag" products up to 120 pounds for shipment out to smaller towns using some of the bulk inbounds from the big elevator to generate some outbounds besides empties. Any advice or pointers will be appreciated, I have been wrestling with this particular industry for some time and it has been a snarled knot in my ops plan for Falls Valley for some time =)
