Model Railroading > Progress on the New LayoutDate: 01/23/20 17:02 Progress on the New Layout Author: map Six years after tearing down the old layout and relocating (https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?3,3317005,3317005#msg-3317005), a new condensed version of my Wyoming Rail Link is now taking shape in the basement. The new layout focuses on switching in the Rock Springs area, servicing a number of industries and receiving inbound and outbound traffic in the yard. Below are some grab shot photos of my latest projects, still works in progress.
1) The local switcher is spotting a tank car at Red Horse Oil, located in the Reliance Industrial Park. 2) Another Reliance Industrial Park tenant is PolyPipe, a manufacturer of flexible plastic pipe products for the oil industry. The prototype PolyPipe is located just east of Casper, Wyoming, but I liked the industry so much I couldn't resist using it in Rock Springs.

Jim Date: 01/24/20 07:10 Re: Progress on the New Layout Author: inCHI Looks great. In the second photo the giant building with one car spotted looks realistic, compared to the common compact building with 5 cars spotted.
