Re: A One Industry Railroad Operation - Mike Kieran - 07-07-2011 Sumter, my original layout plan was to build a ship yard. I was a big fan of the Quincy Bay Terminal Railroad. Ship yards have such great possibilities. I like the idea of a working narrow guage museum supporting a ship museum. Re: A One Industry Railroad Operation - Sumpter250 - 07-07-2011 The Lindberg " Bobtail Cruiser " kit, is very close to N scale. here's USS Carronade IFS-1, the only ship of its type built for the U.S. Navy, in Dry Dock at Sag Harbor Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, on my one Ntrak module. ( the kit is being modified to match the actual vessel....it's still a work in progress, which is why it's in Dry Dock ) In this shot, SMCH consolidation #593 passes in the foreground ( Bachmann N scale ): This shot is of the kitbashed Bascule lift bridge. Behind it, three masts of a schooner, then, a fishing trawler under construction, and behind that the traveling crane that lifts and moves parts for the ship under construction on the ways. Re: A One Industry Railroad Operation - Mike Kieran - 07-08-2011 I absolutely love it Sumpter. Great detailing. If you didn't put it in the caption, I wouldn't have guessed that it was N Scale. Re: A One Industry Railroad Operation - Keithb - 09-23-2011 QUOTE: LET'S UP THE ANTE! What about a railroad customer that would handle no more than six cars per day, but be enough to justify the railroad's existence. I was thinking of a Sewage Treatment Plant. It would receive tank cars and covered hoppers of chemicals and ship out tank cars (sewage), covered hoppers (de-watered bulk waste), hoppers (dewatered bulk for landfill), and box cars (also for municipal waste). UNQUOTE I second that motion!! (ducks, runs for cover....)

That would make a terrific layout, inside a mountain designed to be removed in layers order to view the inner workings. I suspect I will end up building a small gauge fortress railroad sometime in the future, since the animations would be great to do. |
