This swithback on the lead into Dragon Products was frustrating because it limited the number of cars that could be switched into the plant

With an RS-11, 2 cement hoppers fouled the points

Even a 44 tonner could just make clearance with 2 hoppers

So about 7 months ago, I cut off that end of the layout and started a rebuild with a better lead into the plant and a much needed passing siding (to the left out of the picture)

Show me something that did not work well and you fixed

Well here is a bridge I scratchbuilt. I decided to go with a heavier girder but forgot to make the math adjustment, so had to build another one.Dunce

The second scratchbuild after a redo of the math. (good practice)

Show me a kit by Labelle.

Almost a day, no NS and we dropped onto page 2; so I will back up to another request that was not filled for a Dodge - a Dodge Coronet 400 (bronze) next to a Plymouth GTX

Show me something C&O, Chessie System or in that family of RR

Alex, I see you have a Photobucket account, but maybe used the "direct" (http) link instead of the IMG link. If you edit your post and replace the original link with the IMG link, your photo should show

I find this new software frustrating because it is hard to navigate, and some of the photos and post are cut off on the right side.

 

Last request: Show me somethingUnion Pacific or any of the railroads now merged into UP.
