Thanks Gary!!
I know ive posted some plans in the past, and those have been really just for future reference and something that I hope to do in the future. Truth is, living at home and not having a place of my own for a layout is pretty harsh, and it kills me to make these plans (especially the Steel Mill and my M&ET plans) and not being able to make them a reality right now is hard LOL
This is a small enough project for me to tackle right now, and I can store these on my wall in my room when not in use. It will crowd my room, but I think this is the best approach I have right now and will offer quite a bit of building and operating fun. Its realistic for me right now, so im pulling the trigger with this one. The combination of this area being close to where I live and the fact that its modern era and combines many different industries in one small area is what I really like about the La Mirada Industrial District. Plus I have Rob (who I quoted above) that works for BNSF and has experience working the La Mirada Industrial District that said he will do his best to help me out and answer whatever he can means I have first hand experience!
Ill take this one module at a time, starting with the yard and working my way left.... I got one module to work with right now that I can clear and start laying some yard tracks down with. So we will see how this goes
