Don't really need a "drill track" just to switch the "20" R" industry. The lead to the industries on the left should be able to handle a switcher & a couple of cars. Use that track to cross load between cars for that top industry.
The idea though is to be able to leave that industry alone.
But model RRers just have to HAVE one. LOL
depending on what the industry on the left side in the center is, one of the tracks between the two industries could be taken out.
It seems that there is a dichotomy between what we enjoy in model railroading. Between what is realistic and what is just fun to operate even if not realistic. I see the merit in both ...
More progress!
Glued in the foam and puttying the edges to get a clean surface:
Painting the base coat:
Got the switches in the mail!!!
And preliminary laying them out:
Now I need to get some flex track and straight sections to fill the rest of the layout; hopefully we'll start finalizing some of the sections soon.
