Figure I'll give y'all some of my layout updates from this weekend. I placed my structures as best as I can for what I have. I'm confident I can make this work. Didn't do much today as today was my birthday and well I had guests to tend to. I did run my trains for them and explained where I'm at. Got some helpful insight from my brother the coal miner on the best setup for my load out. Got his opinions on my road setup and everything else. So here's what I came up with. Do bear in mind that the depot in my layout is there for planning only. I have an actual C&O depot to put in its place. On the camp side I have three more camp houses coming to bump my count up to 4. My other camp house fell and isn't fixable. One wasnt going to cut it. So three more should be here Thursday. Hopefully. The recommendation is to do a dirt road into the camp. I haven't made my mind up on that just yet. I don't know if y'all can tell in the photo with the depot. The turnout on the right is the one I'll have to replace. The top rail is broken flush off and is only hanging on by the pivot joint. It still works however I'm always having to move the rail when I operate it. It's more annoying than anything. Anyways it's back to work tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good night.
