L&N Industrial Rail Spur

[FCIN]

As far as Slate Creek,its plan as I build..

Larry;
I never tried that approach and would probably end up with a mess in the process! But if it works for you - great! I need a basic plan to start with - at the very least.

I wasted way to much time on planing and rethinking plans-almost 2 years and still couldn't come up with a workable plan even with several ideas from you and other forum members..

At this point, I've come to the conclusion that you can plan yourself crazy and never come up with a suitable plan. Especially when freelancing a layout rather than having a prototype to follow. And of course, you start looking at what others are doing with layouts here and you get MORE ideas!

I've had so many different industry ideas over the past couple of years and purchased rolling stock with them in mind; that it has actually created a problem with coming up with a plan that really suits me. I hate to have to mothball a lot of my cars, so have spent so much time looking for something that would support every type of car I have, it has really hindered any progress I might have made.

I'm still thinking this plan out some, but do intend to lay the track this evening. Perhaps in the process of doing that, something will click. I want to start making structures and all that other fun stuff!
