This evening when I got home, I worked on cutting and shaping the parts for the Ottawa "West" Yard scale. Hopefully some other night this week, I will be able to construct the scale track. Maybe lightning will strike twice and I'll create another one (that actually works).
So, off and on, I have been working on creating the paperwork for the first op session. A little premature I know, but I'm ready to operate! Tonight, I was wondering just how many sand hoppers would fit at Ottawa Silica and Libbey-Owens-Ford (LOF). Ottawa Silica has four tracks with a capacity of 52 sand hoppers! This doesn't include the 8 box car loading spots or handful of other cars. Wow! That's a lot of sand! LOF can hold 10 sand hoppers. Belrose Silica and PQ is yet to be determined (until I lay the track). The total potential spots to be switched on the Ottawa local is 85!! WOW! You gotta love N scale!
I estimate the layout will have a total of 130 spots or so. If memory serves me correctly... Oh why am I guessing....let's do a search on the blog. Holy smokes! The last revision of 1.0 had a total of 122 spots. This new layout has more spots but in a heck of a lot less space! Wow!
