This section of the model is to be moved in the next few months.. Stay tuned.

BXCX Dan,

I'm working on a paper mill too. Mine will most likely consist of good paper boxes until I can get time,(if ever it seems),to build a more proper structure.

Besides boxcars to load paper in & Chlorine tanks used for what purpose I'm not sure, as I don't know that much about the paper industry,what other freight cars does a paper industry use?

How many tracks does your mill use?

I've read paper mills use acids,hydrochloric & sulfuric acids also,but we don't have good models for those purposes. I've read some mills use 2nd hand kraft shipped in boxcars instead of woodchips.

This is 1 of the "heavy" industries planned.

Thank you for the encouraging picture & info.,also.
