Hey guys-here are some shots of my layout.The first one shows most of the freight handling area. The bulkhead flatcar was done while taking a layout break.

The next shot is of the coal dealer.At first it had a coal tower for storage but wasn't happy with it. I re-did it using Walthers Bulk Transfer area as a guide. I added heavy timber walls with coal bunkers.A front-end loader moves the coal around and loads trucks. Conveyors unload the coal.

The last shows the overpass which I use as a view block to separate the yard/switchback tracks from the rest of the layout/The bottom track leads to a wood chip collector,while the bottom road leads to the main building.

While the ballast is done and ground cover in place there is still lots to do.More ground cover,details,vehicles,etc.
Enjoy-Bob
