L&N Industrial Rail Spur

[FCIN]

Hi!. Like your idea. Any update?

Thanks for your interest postman. About the only update at this point is a slight modification I've made to the plan as shown here:     Moved the chocolates plant to the end of the benchwork and added a 4th small industry, which really hasn't added much to overall operations and may be overkill. As noted in the previous posting, a prototype spur of this length wouldn't be too likely to be filled with industries and in fact might only serve one or two industries that would justify rail service.

Just my three main industries provide plenty of prototypical switching and have had a few operating sessions on the layout and am quite pleased so far, although I still can't say that this will be the final plan. I'm still toying around with some other ideas, but so far, none of them look quite right for a short industrial spur.

A typical "solo" operating session is taking at least one hour with no added time killing and when two of us operate it, it tends to take even longer when one of us is strictly engineer and the other conductor.

Undecided if I'll start a new thread once I begin final construction, as I don't feel there is really that much interest in my plan or ideas these days and there are several much more interesting threads you can find on here. Must say that many of the other layout threads have all been cause for me to stop and rethink my own plans! Just too many ideas out there!
