CNW model railroad

What Is It? This is a team track transload ramp — a shared-use track and structure where shippers and consignees can load or unload freight cars without a dedicated industry building. It's a universal freight solution: one track, multiple uses, any customer. Why Include One on Your Layout? Transload ramps allow you to: Add operational variety without building new structures Justify almost any car type — boxcars, flats, gondolas, hoppers Rotate shippers session to session (e.g., machinery this week, lumber next week) Simulate modern or legacy freight operations (perfect for both CNW and MILW eras) Prototypical Uses Car Type Load/Unload Example Session Use Boxcar Palletized goods, small parts  Local shipper with no siding Flatcar Crated machinery or lumber Machinery dealer or prefab kits Gondola Scrap metal, rebar bundles Construction waste or steel transload Covered Hopper  Dry bulk (grain, fertilizer)  Co-op delivery or seasonal ag supply ...

 My well my inglenook interchanged turned into fueling facility and a rip track. I used Arizona rock cnw/Santee fe ballast for the first time and I really like it. The back drop is just glued to poster board and can be moved depending on the picture I want to take. I highly recommend having one for pictures so you can have great pics without your layout being complete.  The engine track receives tankers of fuel and the rip track is just as good as an interchange because anything that needs repaired can come here and you don't even need a second railroad. I out my cars here that I have issues when running like the cnw 89058 is having issues with its coupling. Wonder what will show up next week for repairs. 

Well it's been interesting adding a layer and moving and enlarging the paper mill. But then the flood happened . Oops forgot to disconnect the hose

 2 weathered hoppers for my fleet 

Here is an update of my paper mill. As you can see by the piece of wood on the track where the pieces of lumber come together are not very level I will have to fix this soon. But when the boxcars are filled with paper rolls they don't move to much 

 Cnw f3a  pulls a sting of boxcars into town 

so in honor of all the dairy products in Wisconsin I have added O'leary's Dairy. and a diesel fueling station on the second track of the inglenook. The third track will serve as an interchange and be connected to a staging track.
