Tom,
You ask some good questions....
I will answer for my current shelf layout which is also part of my long term plans.
Do you have a time frame where you're set, time of year?
I model from 1960-1970
Are Steam, Diesel, Electric or all/some of both?
Diesels 70% Alco 29% EMD 1% GE
What are your railroads and what's the rolling stock consist of for deliveries/industries?
City of Prineville, Spokane Portland & Seattle and GN. The majority of my traffic will be handled by 40' Boxcars. Ponderosa moulding will recieve empty boxcars, mostly 40's. Tum-A-Lum Lumber will recieve the occaisonal loaded boxcar and flats but most of their material will be from local mills. The Freight Warehouse will recieve boxcars and flats loaded or mty depending on the need of the customer. Frazier Feeds will recieve some loaded boxcars of bagged feeds then recieve mty boxes and hoppers for loading. I will have some refers that will serve Jefferson Potato and a few inbound loads of hanging beef for the Redmond Meat Locker. Finally I will need one tank car for my bulk plant, they also may get the random box of 55 gallon drums.
Is it Freelance or Compressed Prototype or even exact scale replica?
Prototype based but freelanced interchange with the addition of the City of Prineville. The Free-mo section will be exact scale prototype but the pieces on either side are freelanced.
