Request Layout "Purpose" Ideas

Hi,

The reason for being is derived from the railroad that you model or what they worked. Passenger service is a definite with a runway/airport.

The barrel loader, cattle platform, milk car accessories need the hand of god at times and need a decent straight section, like 15". Looks like the sidings are within reach and are the location for those.

Perhaps a winery and farm (rows of arbors and a pasture) on the inside of the O36 (farm house and barn) with road to the barrel loader cattle on the low left for pickup of barrels and milk and drop off of cattle and delivering the products on the right spur with the freight station and milk car for product distribution.

Add a switch to connect the two loops there for the small freight to deliver to town on the right.

Plasticville has a nice airport and hangar building, I think menard's has a Quonset hut.

I dunno, just rambling...

Maybe a 455 oil Derrick in the center of the small loop, some chrome plated tankers on the spur...

Carl, thanks for the suggestions. I like your idea of production and delivery to the opposite ends.

Chris, I forgot to mention in my post that I do have an oil derrick. Since I was going to change the right lower loop to have a 3 track yard in the middle of it, I was thinking I could also incorporate some refinery / pipeline items in there as well; would make sense having the derrick geographically separated.

Thanks!
