Hey Mark - That's great! I like your choice of industry. I'm working on a mini based on the HEB regional grocery's moderately big bakery on Agnes Street here in Corpus Christi, Texas served by KCS. This bakery only gets flour by rail; the truck docks on the other side of the plant are busier. The covered hoppers are switched oddly using one of those forbidden switchbacks, the lead being provided by track that ceased serving other industry years ago. The unloading tracks are side-by-side, and it looks like the facility can take ten cars. It gets switched almost every day. Mine is going to have a track for corn syrup and vegetable oil tankers. This size bakery is a good fit for a small layout in my opinion. I really like the way you have arranged your plant. Have fun! Ric
