CSX Deland Spur, FL

[alcanman]

Hi,

Seeing Ed's (FCIN) excellent layout plans created with Anyrail has inspired me to try designing a plan for a new layout.

I want to try something different from my current layout CSX Palmetto Spur. Looking around for another Florida location,
I found a CSX branch off the Amtrak main line at Deland, FL approx 30 miles north of Orlando. The 3.5 mile branch serves
a plastics facility which receives plastic pellets in covered hoppers. Here's a pic

   

I plan using Walthers 'Magic Pan Bakeries' which includes 2 sets of unloading pipes in the kit

Also, I would like a different track arrangement from Palmetto, so I've included a run-around with a trailing spur
leading to a Food Processor or Warehouse.

Here's the track plan. measuring 9ft x 15ins

   

I would welcome your comments, suggestions etc. partiularly with regard to potential industries as I have little knowledge of
US operations. I would, however, like to include a hopper unloading facility
thanks,
Mal
