The "new" JJJ&E In N Scale

Bob,

A "Cheater" boxcar! Who would of thunk it! Besides you of course, cool idea.

Tom

Thanks Tom. You can easily make a "Cheater" boxcar in HO scale using an appropriate diesel locomotive chassis and a 50' boxcar.

Bob,

I'm certainly going to try after the July NMRA convention. I will come in handy going up the ovalix.

Tom

You might need two "Cheater" boxcars to negotiate that ovalix Tom.

You can say that again Curt.

Are the stock yards separated from the meat packing plant? If they are how do the yummy steaks get to the plant? Just curious. I have tried several different things with them on my layout.

Curt:

There is a ramp leading from one end of the stock yards up to the Meat Processing Plant.

It must of been the perspective of the photo. To me they appeared to be separated by several tracks.

Curt:

That's why I posted the two photo's so that you could see the ramp leading from the stock yard up to the Meat Processing Plant.

color photo showing part of the Industrial Park in the turnaround area east of San Marino. The locomotive maintenance center is on the left. The Five Cent Cigar Company is adjacent to the maintenance center and a Wood Processing Plant is on the right. I still haven't painted the logs at the Wood Processing Plant. I used roofing felt for the Industrial Center's asphalt pavement. BTW, when I bought the roofers felt at Home Depot, there was no odor from the roofers felt. The radii of the track in the turnaround area is 23-24 inches, which is 46-48 inches in HO scale.

A Panoramic view of the Industrial Park in the turnaround area and its relationship to the rest of the layout. The distance from the Industrial Park to the far reaches of The "Mysterious Middle Part" of the JJJ&E is 16 feet. This is an early photo of the layout and much of the scenery wasn't completed at this point in time.
