Thanks Ed. How is the look of the roadbed and track in those spurs?. Have a bunch of 3/16 inches cork roadbed strips.

The use of roadbed would be just fine for the branches/spurs I mentioned. It does vary somewhat, but would look fine in most cases. Here's a link to Google Maps showing the start of the Bloomfield Branch: https://goo.gl/maps/1AHBG Follow the line southward and it will give you a good idea of how this line looks. Note the tree lined right of way in many places and even some shallow cuts. Might not be obvious, but if you look carefully, you can see where some of the now gone industries were located along the branch.
