The layout is inspired by my experiences railroading in Seattle.

Cargill&#8217;s Seattle Corn Syrup Transfer Facility.<\/li>\n<li>Tractors and Trailers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Some of the places I&#8217;d like to model are:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Horton+Street,+Seattle,+WA&amp;hl=en&amp;ll=47.57447,-122.333238&amp;spn=0.000003,0.001776&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=31.839416,58.183594&amp;vpsrc=6&amp;hnear=Horton+St,+Seattle,+King,+Washington+98116&amp;t=h&amp;z=19&amp;layer=c&amp;cbll=47.574382,-122.333156&amp;panoid=N5J19krdENxhjYRwkuWqxg&amp;cbp=12,27.01,,0,2.47\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PCC Logistics Occidental Street<\/a><br \/>\nThis is at BNSF&#8217;s 2nd Ave or Occidental Yard. This place is a dead ringer for the Pikestuff Transfer Dock. It get&#8217;s tons of BNSF 82&#8242; reefers. I&#8217;ll probably do it with 70-20 reefers or Trinity 64&#8242; reefers.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Horton+Street,+Seattle,+WA&amp;hl=en&amp;ll=47.574942,-122.338088&amp;spn=0.001169,0.001776&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=31.839416,58.183594&amp;vpsrc=6&amp;hnear=Horton+St,+Seattle,+King,+Washington+98116&amp;t=h&amp;z=19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hole<\/a><br \/>\nThis is off of the Industrial Lead at BNSF Stacy Yard. Cargill&#8217;s Corn Syrup Transfer Facility. And Maxum Petroleum. This is a great switching puzzle with lot&#8217;s of spots and respots. Hard to keep track of because every car looks the same<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Horton+Street,+Seattle,+WA&amp;hl=en&amp;ll=47.576538,-122.326643&amp;spn=0.002339,0.003551&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=31.839416,58.183594&amp;vpsrc=6&amp;hnear=Horton+St,+Seattle,+King,+Washington+98116&amp;t=h&amp;z=18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Franz Bakery<\/a><br \/>\nThis is on 5th Avenue on BNSF&#8217;s 7th Avenue Lead. It&#8217;s a great looking building and gets lot&#8217;s of hoppers.<br \/>\nAll of these industries are in Seattle&#8217;s SODO area. They are all off of different leads and served by different jobs, but all of the jobs work out of BNSF Stacy Yard.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve started with a track plan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The plan includes the industries I mentioned plus a team track (still working on this idea). The plan also includes a small yard, because I want to have a place to take the cars to. I&#8217;ve oriented the plan to share as much lead and tail track as possible. Most of the leads are sufficiently long to accomodate the associated industries full compliment of cars (Except Cargill). The shelves are 20&#8243; deep on the South and East sides. 14&#8243; deep along the West side and 12&#8243; deep on the North side.<br \/>\nThe actual construction will be a combination of free standing benchwork and shelves.<br \/>\nTrack will be primarily Peco code 83 Flex and #6 Insulfrog turnouts. ME code 70 Flex and #6 DCC Turnouts. DCC control. One block. 24&#8243; minumum radius.<br \/>\nLocos will be goats and geeps and maybe SD40-2 if it runs OK through the 24&#8243; radius turns.<br \/>\nComments, questions and suggestions are welcome.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Link to original post on TrainBoard\" href=\"http:\/\/www.trainboard.com\/grapevine\/blog_callback.php?b=2617\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View as Origianlly Posted on TrainBoard<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats total_only \" data-element-id=\"16\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,143&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am designing a modern day HO industrial layout.
