    I don’t always get around to weathering or dirtying up. However, on a structure like this it will add some definition and variety.

        Thank you Bill. It took enough time that I would sometimes think: ”Gersh. Win will I ever finish? Let’s call the whole thing off.”

          About halfway to securing the chutes, I’ve started planning the small layout addition to accommodate my new industry. I want to determine the angle of the track and the shed relative to current benchwork, as well as plan the topography. I cut a piece of heavy cardboard to cantilever off the layout to draw track and shed layout and planned landforms.



          I purchased 1/2” lumber this week to use as a framework for what will become a diorama of sorts.

            Hi Mike!

            That structure will require another trestle, correct? The chutes... are those for wagon loading or rail car?

            I think I see an MDC OT locomotive in the background!

              Andre,
              Probably no trestle. The extension will be like a shelf and the coal shed base will sit a couple of inches below the main layout level. It will serve customers in wagons.

              The locomotive is the Athearn version of the MDC kit model.

              Mike

                Oh, I get it now! Sitting below mainline level will make for some neat visual interest!

                Understood on the Athearn/MDC. I tend to forget that Athearn now owns MDC/Roundhouse.

                Speaking of which, has anyone heard ANY news about the upcoming DCC/Sound Athearn/Roundhouse OT 2-8-0's? Originally supposed to be on the shelves by now, as I recall. I note they are now pushed back to arrive this December?

                  Andre,

                  My layout is all one level so indeed there will be a little visual interest added.

                  I’ve not heard anything regarding availability of new locos.

                  Mike

                    Shoot, that's one nice shed-chute.

                      Thank you, Frank. Just trying to hit the target.
