L&N Industrial Rail Spur

[FCIN]

Ed,My vote goes to Version 2...

Okie-Dokie - I agree. Does look a bit more like your "typical" modern industrial spur and allows for some potentially nice shoebox structures. It also helped when I did what I should have done in the first place - decide on what industries to include! And I did a little test run on what was shown as Version 1 in the previous posting and wasn't too thrilled with it. So here's what I'm going with:     May have to make some very slight adjustments to the length of the three spurs by the shoebox structures, allowing for the number of possible car spots and maintaining my 8 foot switching lead/staging track, but otherwise this should work just fine as shown. With all the food related industries I guess a good name for this would be "The Food Spur".

Industries will be:
Soft Drink Bottler: Corn Syrup Tanks (2 spots with room for 1 off spot)
Food Products Warehouse: Box Cars - Reefers (4 spots)
Cooking Oils Distributor: General Service Tanks (2 spots with room for 1 off spot)
Bakery (or maybe a Candy Plant): Airslide Hoppers (2 spots with room for 1 off spot)
Transload Facility: Covered Hoppers (feed/fertilizer) - Bulkhead Flats (lumber/wallboard) - Box Cars (lumber/plywood/beer/miscellaneous) - Other odds and ends that might show up now and then such as a Chain Flat of machinery or whatever. (4 or 5 possible spots)

All the industries and structures are based on prototypes that I've found.

Time to make the changes to the track and build this thing! Once I get the track re-laid and some structure mockups, I'll post some photos or maybe start a new thread. Just hope that my efforts come remotely close to what some of the other folks on here have accomplished.

BTW Larry - looking forward to seeing the track plan you've worked out for Slate Creek. Feel free to "borrow" any ideas from my ramblings and numerous track plans.
