Wow, all of these layouts that have towns and cities on them and no cross walk? Of course that means more revenue writing jaywalking tickets.

If no cross walk, then how about some one getting a citation of some kind for braking the law?Big Smile

The Money train goes from station to station collecting the money collected by the station agents from selling tokens. Brinks Armored Train, officers with machine guns, locked compartments, bars on the windows.

Alas it is no more (except on lay layout). Tokens are all gone too. Now you use a credit card to buy a Metro Card (subway/bus ticket). Or you can pay cash if you have to. The station agents are now "Customer Relations Agents" and have no money and sell no tickets.

An armored car is used for collections so that it will not tie up the railroad. In the past the station agent had the money all bagged and ready, it took only two minutes. Now the agents must open and service several machines at each station. One man works on the machine, the other two stand there with rifles ready.

No detailed loading docks complete with weather stripping or money trains.

I'm not sure I know what a money train is, perhaps mow equipment or company business coaches?

Ok,

Show me a dirt road/street.

"SHow me something else that was not working on your layout that you rebuilt"

 

The Kimberly Clark Plant on my layout was just not right, so I am rebuilding it to be closer to the prototype.

 

Original configuration:

 

Rebuilt version (still in progress):  Loading doors changed, rail door walls modified to match the proto version, etc.

 

 

Show me detailed loading dock doors, preferably with weather seals.
