Hi Tino, thanks. Its all about slowly zooming in, and then out again to balance the big picture. I try to simulate the operations and practicalities as good as I can to validate the design.
Hi HB, Thanks for the addition. These malt, grain and hops figures derive from big industrial brewery processes. On my layout i only have one large 'shipping' bay for all incoming and departing goods. The previous hops arrive in big bags if I'm not mistaken, so i didn't want to send it to the dry bulk elevator.
Perfect! Your ferry port will connect to my PRR main heading to Philly. And while on the ferry, we'll lose 5-7 years since I'm a steamhead modeling 1939-1953. 👍
Cool. I'm modeling the transition era. The PRR was one of the last class 1 RR to give up steam. Mostly becasue they hauled a lot of coal and therefor could get it easy & cheap. So, the is no need for a 5 year ferry ride. As long as you stick to the latter part of your era. You might want to narrow that era window down a bit. I'll eventually go to a 3 year window or so.
@@DubaiTrains Yes, it's a wide timeframe. But it does allow me to run pre war, wartime, post war, some early 50s steam/diesels and early shadow keystone rolling stock. Adds a little more variety. The only downside is trucks & autos. I'm collecting vehicles from 1937-1954 for the layout. Also, if I put in a dealership, the roof has to come off so I can change the display window car. 😆
If you choose the later date you can still run all the locomotives you want. Just weather the older ones more heavily, that will add to the story. As far as the cars go, I don't know what the lifespan of a 1930s car is. But don't forget that if you would model e.g. 1948, there would still be a few cars around from the end 1930s.
I was wondering how you found the brewery processes and cars per month information. I wanted to see if I could apply the process to an automotive plants. I'm modeling Milwaukee Road and Soo Line in the Milwaukee area with the brewery branch and the old AMC automotive plant.
I found it in various books covering breweries. You can use the ratios as shown in the video. They will not channge. I have the slides as shown in the video available on my patreon. Did you mean this beer line? ruclips.net/video/jBK3vYnsers/видео.html
Hi Mitch, a lot has happened between then and now. My layout room changed shape. It is now finished and ill be starting the laser cut benchwork next week. I also updated the layout design including the brewery section as per the new layout shape. Ill be making the brewery with the ABR modulair building system. Here the video in the new layout including various jobs on the roster. ruclips.net/video/EXz5LIB2tMo/видео.html
There's lots of great information in here but please, please kill the background music. It's inane and repetitive and, after ten minutes, I couldn't take it any more and stopped watching.
Thanks for sharing your design process, very informative.
Your welcome John. Are you seeking to plan a new layout?
Nice design , your very analytical in your design process👍👍👍
Yeah my brain never sleeps.
Like the track plan. Should be fun operations.
Thanks Dave. I'm working on the yard video for Friday. The yard that will service the brewery and PRR interchange. So much to talk about.
thank you for sharing a very detailed video and showing the set plan head before building the layout from Australia
Thanks Robert. Good to have some Aussies on board.
Interesting plan and the thoughts you make for the future operation are fantastic. LG Tino

The Hops would go to the brew house where it is boiled with the wort... not at packaging. And they would be using far more than one car load.

I am in the process of making a brewery similar to yours. How have you come along on this? Do you have any pictures of the structure?

This video was great! Have you done any other industries? Maybe a Lumber industry??
There are some really good books on the matter.
@@DubaiTrains any title recommendations?
The industries along the tracks, is a great series. 4 parts if I'm not mistaken. But they are getting scares.
@@DubaiTrains I found #4 the other day. 1-3 are very expensive, if I can find them at all. Might check the library
I got the whole set just in time!
There's lots of great information in here but please, please kill the background music. It's inane and repetitive and, after ten minutes, I couldn't take it any more and stopped watching.
Hi Beeble, I agree. Check my newer videos for better audio. Apologies. You can get all the pictures (without music ;-) on my patreon.
@@DubaiTrains Fantastic! :) I'll have a look.
