It's been sometime since I last posted on this forum.Many family and personal problems.
During that time I took a long hard look at my layout and soon discovered that I was not satisfied with a few of the areas so I went to work revising them.
On the front side of the layout I added an office where a demolished building used to stand.

Next was the pallet factory.I removed the track from under the chip tower,shortened the size of the bin and made it for use by trucks.

I then proceeded to remove the small engine house that sat at the back of the switchback allowing for about 6" extra inches of track length.

Next up is the diner. Never really liked this area. Found a used passenger car and converted it to a diner and added an outside store house and garbage area along with a revised parking lot.

Lastly is the freight handling area.Here I removed the traveling crane,enlarged the staging area and added a fueling area. I also added a steam powered crane(a Jordan Miniatures kit)
