The new WRS - Update

With the sunshine, I have not had much time to get any work done on the layout itself, but did spend a little time working on the new layout plan. After remeasuring the basement, I gained a few important inches.
The industries in Blue Ridge have not been added. At present I have lost nine industries from the old layout and I have to look at which ones of the nine, I want to add to the Blue Ridge area.
The Oxbow Branch will be source for wood chips for the Paper Mill and lumber loads for the world.
Northbrook and Southvale will be staging yards for the layout. The plan is that each yard will have three staged trains of 12-13 cars.
Now with the rough layout design done, it is time to start working on the operations side of things.
Until the next update.
Doug
