Season Greetings & Update

To begin, the Management of the WRS would like to wish everyone the Best of the Season and the wish for another great year ahead.

Now for the Update.

As you can see in the pictures below, there has been a few changes in the White River Paper Company. The "Elves" had a little green paint left over and they painted many of the Mill's buildings. Painting foamcore cause a problem, it curled unless the pieces were correctly braced. A few braces had to be added after the fact on some of the buildings. A few cardboard tubes where wrapped in yellow construction paper and installed around the Mill to represent tanks
.
The WRS track gang was at the Mill also and installed another siding.




This is a long shot of most of the Mill



This the Finishing End of the Mill



This is the center of the Mill
(Note: the airslides are setting on the new siding)

This is the Receiving Warehouse in the center, Chemical Unloading Building on the right and the Boiler Plant on the left.


Some how the main building of the Boiler Plant was turned 90 degrees, this was done after seeing the building on another website . Now a little "land" will have to be installed under the building.



The WRS Track Gang also had another project in the South Yard. They added trackage to the track on the left. Also the crossover between the left track and the center track was moved to the other side of the crossover between the center and right track. This will help the Yard Crew in switching the Yard with the longer pull back track.
Best of the Seasons Everyone
