hi gentlemen,
a few remarks about Paul Dolkos's layout.
Before me is Model Railroad Planning 1998 magazine.
1) a crossover is part of the plan at the end of the arrival tracks, so engines were able to escape as long as one track was kept empty and trains were pretty short (4 ft, not counting the engine).
2)the yard was not built on a peninsula but against a wall, next to a window.
3)the yard was not just used for a mill or local industries, but was used as a classification yard as well; at least local trains were built in that little yard.
4)even if on pics all engines are diesels, some remnants from steamers like a coal dock and watertower still can be found.
And before i forget:
Brakie,
the words you are using might be rough sometimes, no problem to me. But claiming stuff could be done much better, or much more prototypically, and not providing the appropriate drawing sets you apart.
BTW, you are supposed to be a moderator on here, what does that mean?
Paul
