Mikes plans are good, but they aren't what I'm looking for, I want to have at leas 8 feet so I can let the engine run, I also want the spurs to be separated from each other, at most 3 tracks side-by-side.
FCIN Wrote:I'm with Mike - what sort of metal company?
Hmm... I never really thought about which kind, it's just that I have some bulkhead flats and gondolas and I figured a metal company would make a good industry for them, A pipe company would also work.

Yeah I hate it too, but it will be better in the long run
One plan I really like is Stein's Shamrock Ave. Trackplan:

I really like the variations in the benchwork, that is one of the reasons I want to get rid of the HCD's. And a few modifications could turn it into a nice Southern Pacific layout.
