Hi Marti 427
I'd like to add my welcome . Hope you enjoy the transload kit model .
Like you, I prefer my RR/ industries to reflect real situations.
a couple thoughts:
For inspiration, you might want to look at regional or shortline operations.
For example, Gennessee & Wyoming Inc-- a shortline conglomerate.
see this site, <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gwrr.com/">http://www.gwrr.com/</a><!-- m -->
particularly their NE ooperations section.
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gwrr.com/operations#center%5B%5D=43.005047¢er%5B%5D=-76.902222&selectedRegion=Northeast+Region&zoom=6">http://www.gwrr.com/operations#center%5 ... ion&zoom=6</a><!-- m -->
Also, on your point to point layout, be sure to include an interchange location for traffic going off/ coming to your model RR.
It makes things a lot more interesting.
