Diddier Mills - in action. (56k warning)

Mid-west USA. A new ethanol based milling operation has itself well-established in the intense summer heat. Didder Mills Inc purchased an old Southern SW1 switching engine to service the mill. With a small train crew, the mill is also a place to see some switching action.

The mill has its own switching and servicing yard. Where it has 5 tracks, each track with its specific role. Box car out, box car in, hopper in/out, tanker in/out, and a track to place stock in need of repair to go onto the interchange. The mill also has a service shop to repair the old SW1 whenever.

Here we can see a screenshots of the SW1 in action as it services the mill with a tanker operation in place.

Looks awesome !

That does look really good. Looks like Ocemy's track, which is amazing even though the ballast is a little sparkly. Did you edit it, or does it not show in the screenie?

That is the CHN 02 - Low track. "Low" i think is in reference to the lower track bed. And no the track is not edited.

That looks like a brilliant model. The detail is excellent and it's very atmospheric. Well done!

Incidentally the term 'low' may mean 'low-poly' which some creators often do with track so it doesn't eat up your poor processor! :hehe:

Due to the mills fantastic quarterly profits, and the ever increasing demand, they received another SW1 work horse to help service the demand.



Here we see a Reading Lines SW1500 switcher move through the mill on the main line dropping off some empties for the mill.

That looks very very nice :Y:

Some more mill action as we see the two SW1's pull a cut of hoppers out to be filled an placed onto the holding side.. You may also notice a bulk car holding C-beams for "upcoming" rail improvements.

A Norfolk Southern coal train comes screaming through industry, clearly disregarding any speed laws in the area.

Here we have the SW1 doing some tanker action. Moving empty tankers out to the yard for classification.

Next up a new warehouse industrial spur addition has taken its shape on the layout. It is a small gated off complex that has 2 very small sidings for local freight.

The SW1 pipes down the line a blazing speed of 15MPH.
