I spent last night doing as many little jobs on the layout as I could - the two I have worth showing are the coal yard, and a freight car load I made from scraps.
The coal pens contain 2 different grades of coal, as well as sand. The overgrown pen at the end holds gravel, but judging by the greenery growing over it, they haven't sold any in a while!

The car load is made from offcuts of basswood strip and a broken old cog from an Airsoft rifle. I'm hoping to pick up a heavyweight flat car or two at some point, and this will be going on one of them. For now, my Western Maryland flat car is seeing some use instead.
