Heck, don't just stop with the signal! <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bouldercreekengineering.com/weighstation.php">http://www.bouldercreekengineering.com/weighstation.php</a><!-- m -->

Oh... hock: Don't give them ideas, I know they will try to do it by themselve with junk if I show them the real thing! I still remember when they made an operating swing bridge out of Life-Like bridges + fishing line or the automated turntable out of a VCR motor and door moldings glued together! And I know they plan to make a device to automatically feed hoppers to the grain elevator... You can't stop progress!

@Teejay, Thank you! This cement plant used to be one of the biggest in Eastern Canada. I've fond memories of it but like everything nowadays, it was replaced by ugly condos for bimbos. My grandfather built the concrete form for the 500ft smoke stack back in 1954 and he saw it pulled down again before he died (they told him it would last at least a century) pftt!!! Vanity!

We just need some picture of the nice GE-45 that operated the plant. I've got of few picture of it but it isn't identical to bachmann GE-45. In fact, it didn't had the rod and the cab design and stack were more like a GE-44. Does that means GE had to design for their 45-tonner? St. Lawrence Cement had one with rounded cab corners and integrated stack... Probably a bash project if I want it.

With the Cement plant at the Eastern End and the Grain elevator at the Western End, our layout now have 2 large industries to keep operators busy for large operation sessions. It means two industrial switchers, a yard switcher, a local switcher for other industries along the road and a road unit or more to connect all of them together with freight trains.
