Reinhard,
"There is no operational layout any more and there is no plan to get one back except doing everything new from very scratch".
Initially, I thought you mentioned that you were going to start over from scratch. I had to revised my response to your thread since now it sounds like you are going to repair the section. I have always wanted to put down plaster to make a concrete area for unloading cars, however if I did it wrong I would have to tear it out. I'm not good at patching areas. For that reason I would probably use sheet plastic between the rails and covering the ties to make a concrete looking surface. All my roads, parking lots, track are held down with white glue.
I have come to the conclusion that I will be redoing my Miami River layout. However, it will not start the rebuild until late summer/early fall.
Good luck,
Larry
