Taking a week off from the layout and life in general to vacation with my family in the Outer Banks in NC. I have not been down here since the mid 1980's! During the down time, I'm going to plan out what exactly I want to complete on the layout when I get back. Orange has ran into a dilemma. The cassette will not provide enough room for a run-around exchange track for the VMID. So, I may have to bring trains down to Orange double headed to work the exchange. I do have one industry in Orange and I may still do the run-around cassette so the local doesn't have to be double headed. If you don't know railroad lingo, double headed means a loco on the front and the rear of the train. Some of the CSX locals in our area do this and we have a coal train that comes up from Richmond that does this also. The coal train runs north and then runs down a branch with the rear locos without having to run around it's train.
So here's whats on the agenda when I get home:
- Complete trackage in Orange including wiring
- Complete the cassette
- Start on the expansion above Orange.
- Complete aggregate facility (Walthers kit)
- Complete scenery on expansion
I want to complete the scenery on the expansion of the aggregate facility because this is the first thing you see when you come into the layout room.
Stay tuned!
