Hey guys. Layout plan rework. I'm doing a model of a portion of the EBT set about 36 years prior to its closing as a commercial carrier. A friend of mine at the local model railroad club is helping me out by bringing me in a book about the EBT's entire lifespan. Modeled will be:
>EBT Rockhill Furnace Yard
>Mt. Union yard
>a few stops for industries between Rockhill Furnace and Mt. Union
>a few stops between the EBT
>a couple of coal mines.
Not a HUGE layout, though, because most of it is going to be in hidding staging sections masked by forest everywhere but a couple of places. Might be kinda hard to model it in winter though. Gotta hide enterance into staging. But at the same time, most of the trees need to have NO leaves. It'd be easy in spring or summer because the trees HAVE leaves.
Should be fun. I'm going to have an imagineered steamer on the line, too. An Articulated steamer bought after the mikes and replacing the iconic #12, the smalles of all of the EBT Mikes.
