This all works quite well. I suppose there are many spurs that would fit in this space but I like that this is based on a real spur and that its pretty much to scale. Below is an example of how I could build it in 2 phases, this first one with a simple clamp on section for the first industry which I think I would make a lumber dealer and move the track a little. At the moment though this is just a carbon copy of Lubbock TX. I could still make it my own with different industries.
Looking at the site it doesn’t look like this guy ever build this design, will spend some time reading more of the pages and see why. He too is an SP fan and this is an ATSF railway so it would need to be proto-freelance. I could use some of the structures as they appear in the real thing and move the timeframe and area to where I want. Lots of space to model scenery and make a VERY realistic layout which I really think will hold my attention more than something totally fictitious..
