Here is the new table. You enter the table from the left from the layout. I starts with a ross 4 way yard switch.
The table is 16' 20" long and 4 feet wide. There are some unusable areas in the back where brick pillars and metal brace the ceiling.
I want two or three of the long tracks to be available as a holding track for passenger trains. I also want to be able to store 4 engine in the engine house area with 2 tracks inside and one track on either side outside the engine house.
I also want some switching opportunities in the back and in the front. This is where your ideas come in. I am having some trouble coming up with a plan that will allow me to switch cars. I really want someone to be able to entertain themselves on this table for a while switching and unloading some cars (I have some of the K-line cars that kick out boxes be remote). I have cranes that could unload carts, etc.
I picture some smaller industries in the front like Korber size models and some larger factories in the back. Maybe icing platform for reefers. Anything is fair game. Thanks to any who participate and help me get this going. On the right side maybe a big Union Station like building over the tracks.
