NICE!!!!! I've gotta make a couple of GERN covered hoppers and tankers. Since this is the most active GERN thread right now I thought I'd provide an update about the Upper Hudson Valley Cement Flux Division's facilities. Up until now my GERN plant was serving just as a way to hide some track on two levels that were close to each other. The industry wasn't really served by rail on my layout. I've reconfigured some track to create two spurs for a new loading site (pictured in the middle of the photo with the cylindrical hopper and vertical storage tanks) where tank cars and covered hoppers can be spotted.

The stroage tanks were inspired by a photo Reinhard posted a while ago of some he had made. I liked the way they looked!

One more view of the entire GERN facility...

It's good to actually be able to do business with GERN now. The Penn Central was getting a bit frustrated about not accessing revenue from this global giant. Certainly now that GERN is a regular customer 1970 should be a banner year of prosperity for the railroad!
