CNR Kensington sub

I hear you. I'll really need to step up my building game to accomplish some of the things I want.

Glad you like the new plan. I feel it gives me a good operating layout with decent staging and storage and if I was to take off the door at the far end of the east staging I could possibly do a lift out section to join the layout in front of the ready mix plant.

It's funny you mentioned the junk. I was thinking of where to put the dumpster for the TT area when I remembered the era. There should be a decent amount of old pallets and bracing laying around. I'd like to have a small crane but I can't find any information if there was one. Might have to fudge that one.

I'm sure you'll find a lot of thing to do before getting bored and wanting to add the lift out section. It's impressive how little trackage is required to keep someone captivated. With your number of industries, you can run many different trains at each session.

I remember a loading dock at La Pocatière that existed during until the late 90s. The ramp was made of old ties covered with asphalt. There was a tank car cut in hald serving as a diesel reservoir and a few MoW cars. I should try to find my old pictures and post them. Since it was in Eastern Quebec, it had that Maritime vibe and small time railroading feeling (even if located on CNR transcontinental mainline). It was ver similar in aspect to your prototype pictures with high grass and open space.
