Merci beaucoup de partager cette vidéo. Un petit convoi et ça prend finalement plusieurs minutes pour consigner chaque wagons. Je te souhaite ne pas trop avoir à faire de changements pour obtenir l'optimum opérationnel.
Thanks Kraig. I was originally going to hold this video till January to stick to my monthly schedule, but then I figured why not give folks a bonus video on Christmas day. Glad you enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed industrial switching. Fun...fun...fun. Have you thought about assigning one of the older engines... like one of the GP7/9's to the Mill... and making the Mill job one of the high seniority jobs? The local could assemble the train in the yard and deliver the inbounds to the Mill...while picking up the out bounds for the yard. When the local gets back to the yard, it would switch out its train to the appropriate tracks. Maybe even a small engine house that doubles as a yard office for the crew. Whatever...wonderful potential and fun to watch.
Hi David. Glad you enjoyed it. You nailed it. My original plan did actually have an enginehouse, but I removed in favour of the coal unloading scene. It provides greater operating interest/value and helps camouflage the tracks passing through the backdrop. Any assigned loco can be fuelled/serviced from an adjacent roadway, and can be cycled to the Q&NE shop for its 90 day inspection and/or repairs. This provides an opportunity to prototypically have a temporary loco replacement.
@@QNERailroad Then we are mutual fans! Thank you for showing me how the power plant kit can make a 90 degree turn! That's exactly how I will be able to make the rest of mine fit in the space I have!
Hey Allen, I meant to ask you - what brand of turnout are you using? They don't seem to look like any that I am familiar with: Walthers, Peco, Atlas or Micro-Engineering ...
@@QNERailroad About 90% of my turnouts are Micro Engineering and the rest are Walthers. I did use Atlas on the staging level to save a little money, which sounds like a joke at this point given how much I've spent since then...LOL.
If you need an origination source for the WM lime hopper, the Vulcan Quarry in Hanover, PA used to load out pulverized lime for the Bethlehem Steel works in Baltimore, MD. No reason a load couldn't get sent to Canadian paper mills as well :D
Perfect! Any idea what size hopper cars should be used? I suspect modern two bays or older three bays. The one I used in the video was probably better suited to less dense products, like grains.
That's a surprise. I expected lime to be dense, and therefore shipped in the two bay hoppers. I'll have to rethink my fleet plan. What kind of weathering do the photos show? Thanks for the info.
@@QNERailroad not many photos that I've found are in color. The western Maryland hoppers are grey with black lettering. So I imagine just some white streaking from the roof line down. Along with the general dust and grime along the underside
@@QNERailroad I think that your layout of the mill would necessitate the mill owning their own engine. During an operating session someone could run the engine breaking up a train and assembling one for the outbound.
I think it will work very well sir... Obviously the yard and tracks are no where near capacity. The only thing that maybe of issue is the length of train coming in but seems possible with even a train of 20 or more, as long as the yard isn't heavily loaded. Besides the 2 turnouts, and in my only opinion of not putting empties between loaded cars and power; I really think all went very well.... Excellent test sir! Really enjoyed this! Looking forward to more progress!! - Gary
Nice, provide plenty of fun time. Couple of questions, you planning on powering this section with a booster and what kind of material you use for the mills?
Thanks Ben. Originally I thought I might have to add a booster, but the test demonstrated that it might not be necessary. We'll have to see if there is a power drop when the rest of the layout is running at the same time. If you are referring to the mill buildings, they are the Walthers kit (two of them). I have since found some of the Walthers pulp tanks and a Recovery Boiler kit. Still have to figure out how to build the pulp mill building and kiln. Need lots of tanks and piping. Will probably use evergreen styrene if I scratchbuild.

Awesome update thanks for sharing my Friend,😊😊👍👍
My pleasure!
What a great add-on. That area will provide hours of entertainment for an operator(s). The track laying is superb.😊
Thanks very much! I agree, it will be a very popular spot on the layout. I may have to pull out my seniority card!
Fantastic share enjoyed Thé operation session. Looks great going through the wall scene breaks it up. Have a great day and the rest of your week
Thanks Mike! You too.

Merry Christmas 🎄 Sheldon ! Very nice progress in the paper mill plant area …. I really enjoyed watching your operation video 😊 !! 👍👍

Shows how switching out one industry at prototype speeds can las almost an entire operating session.
Yes, and it opens up another position on the Q&NE team. Time to reinstate the operations induction trainee program!
I like how you're using structures to disguise your wall portals. Great test run! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Allen. I'm watching your progress as well with great interest.

@@KandWRailroader Thanks. I did the same thing for the flex track in my staging yards.

@@QNERailroad Photos of the Western Maryland rock runner show what appears to be 3 bay covered hoppers from 4427 cu ft to 4750

Everything seemed to work out for the best. Will there be a switch engine and crew assigned to this yard when things get rolling?
Hi Todd. Yes, that's the plan. Debating whether it should be a Q&NE crew & loco or an old Alco belonging to the mill.

Appreciate the quick feedback, Gary. Glad you were able to sit through it. I wasn't sure if I should have split it into two videos.
Looks great in track placing with industry.
Thanks David.
