Baton Rouge Southern 3.0 - a Design discussion

I have a box of N scale locomotive parts (gears, wheelsets, Rivarossi can motors...) could make for nice detritus to scatter around the yard.  An overhead crane over the tracks could also be a useful detail.

You'll also need one of these:

I too have some parts, but always happy to have more . . . I am building a wheel rack for including in the scene.  I have a small chain hoist also in the making to add over a track . . . .

I real intention here is to use the front rear track as my programming track, and the rear rear track for display of in-progress locomotive builds (of which I have too many).  The front two tracks are active and live and so will serve to host all manner of stuff shipped in.

I'd recommend paving or graveling even more of the area around the shop so you have more "display space".

What fun is doing more than a few trees a night ?  Completely ruins the joke 😃

I am going to do concrete between the tracks on both ends to support equipment. Beyond that there is a lot of room to add details. It was never going to be a big industry - @DKS is not known for sprawling layouts and a three room fab shop afterall.
