Thanks to all for your interest, information, and kind remarks regarding Palmetto.

I certainly like the look of the facility at Toolworld, Eustis. Just the sort of thing I'm looking for.
I intend to look for more similar facilities in South/Central Florida to provide a location for the basis of the new layout.
If anyone has any more ideas or locations, I would be very pleased to hear from you.

As there are currently no signs of abandonment looming at Palmetto, the new project will probably not commence until spring 2012
at the earliest. This gives me plenty of time to find the right location and track plan.

Going back to the pic of the Transload shed at DeLand, I'm now thinking that such a structure would perfectly fit on the team track
at Palmetto. However, I am wondering how the structure would look from the trackside? Presumably, it would be open with piping/apparatus
to discharge the plastic pellets from a hopper car into a truck. Also, it difficult to see on Google but it looks the roof of the structure provides
cover for a truck whilst loading is proceeding.

Can anyone help, or provide pics of similar structures?

Thanks again,

Mal
