Re: The Return of the Clinch Valley
Some will be commercial, and for those I think I will be using ZStuff For Trains. There is a C&O signal bridge at Peach Creek that I am working with a local signal guru Joe Bliss, to scratchbuild for me as it is one of a kind. However, some recent developments might have me going with Joe for a few more than just 1 bridge, but I need to finish the tabletop and get some hard trackplanning done, as I think I am going to expand the railroad to a 2 mainline bi-directional subdivision, as if Island Creek paid to expand it because of the coal and expanding local traffic because of the boom in Holden.
Re: The Return of the Clinch Valley
A double track mainline that short is not going to offer much of an operating challenge. Trains won't need to meet and the runs would feel short.

Re: The Return of the Clinch Valley
You can easily change this by adding locals that you have to swerve around while switching, or during operating sessions taking a switch or track out of service. Even on a small railroad having double track can have benefits for operations and just running in circles.Racer wrote:A double track mainline that short is not going to offer much of an operating challenge.
