Coal operations

[NW Modeling List]

Hi Mike 
I suggest you look at the website Appalachian railroad modeling. Great ideas there. 
Also. There was an email thread a while back about a meat packing or distribution company serviced by N&W that was located in Northfork and serviced by the railroad.  Very interesting different revenue in the middle of coal country.

I try to envision running mine runs with a group of people and I can come up with only one person pulling a train of empties up the branch. I don’t have room for more than one branch. So I’m the one person but I want to have people over to share the fun.
