Track Plan – Industrial Lead<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As a BNSF locomotive engineer in Seattle I have become very familiar with railroad operations and industry switching. I work out of Stacy Yard and have worked several jobs that service the industries I’d like to model.<\/p>\n

The Industrial Lead is an HO Scale prototype layout. The businesses are real. The track names are real. The locations and track arrangements may not be exact, but I am trying to develop this as close to prototype given my available space. My goal is to capture the essence of certain scenes.<\/p>\n

The Industrial Lead is a small spur that tails off the south end of BNSF Stacy Street Yard. The Spur serves 2 customers: Cargill Corn Sweeteners Transfer Facility & Maxum Petroleum.<\/p>\n

This layout is designed for challenging switching operations. The design may seem simple, but customer demands can easily make things outrageously complex. This is how it happens in real life.<\/p>\n

My personal goal for this layout is to keep my boys interested in trains. I want them participate in construction and operations. Much will be beyond their skill level, so it will be a learning process.<\/p>\n

Thanks for visitng. I hope you’ll visit again and help keep me going.<\/p>\n
