Thanks guys,
Brakie,
45% of my 150+ roster is 40' boxcars. In the era I am modeling, CNR used a lot of boxcars. I have a love affair with 40' boxcars since the day my father brought me to the grain elevator in Port of Québec, more than 60 years ago. I clearly remind seeing one of those boxcars used to haul grain. There were less fences then and I could almost touch the car. Later, when I was old enough to play in the woods near my home, I would run to the CNR tracks whenever I heard the whistle of a train. Then I would sit near the tracks (no fence there neither) and look at those GPs hauling long stings of red boxcars until the caboose passed.
Wayne,
Almost all the photos you have seen on the forums were taken from only one or two different places as I don't have many spots that are finished enough to favor good photos.

Lots of tracks in a small place but, because of the short mainline, I wanted a switching layout with lot of operations.
