Hey I like that tower by the station! Your passenger trains must have to back in to get to it? Nice yard with all the aerial trucks too!
Here's Spencer Yard, still in the works as you can see.
It's a small yard where cuts of cars are exchanged from Mallory and Huard to head on out to Gibson or Longhurst where there are two more smaller yards. All code 83 track and #6 switches (the pics make them look sharper).
The last one is the yard at the Fuerst Matthes Paper mill in Huard, also under construction.
Yard work huh? You folks must be "thinking two months ahead in the middle of May" (Robert Frost). OK, here are a few of the Yard at Hopewell on the SLOW.
Nice job guys! My station is more of a operations depot now instead of passenger station. I'm trying to model modern day Union Pacific and Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroads.
This is a small yard in our industrial city of Post Falls. It features a scale track and is where transfers from the main yard get broken down by switchers and spotted at the various industries. You can also see a diner in the distance where the crews go for "beans".
There is some really amazing work in here. The realism on some of these is just stunning.
Larry, in your second picture, near the bottom, what's that coupled to the gon of semi tractors? I looked in the other pics and couldn't find it. Looks like a locomotive?

It was an old loco cab in front of a herbicide tank. I changed it to look like this photo. Littlefoot now owns it.
