Looks cool. Make sure you get Channing in there and that wye. They do a lot of pulp wood loading in that yard.

Oh yeah....It will be in there....It will be aways till I get up that far.....Lena will be my next town to cover.....I didnt know what season to cover it in and seeing that winter is to blah cause of all white and such....I decided to go with something like this.....Eventually I will swap everything out with ground textures to trees to ground coverage with more summer stuff down the road when after I get all this done....But as of now I will keep it as a end of fall, waiting for winter theme.....Crivitz will be an interesting area to model as thats like a half way point where a lot of these trains usually like to meet, the train from Marinette (the M&M Job that is) the southbound train from the north and the northbound train from the south all usually meet here and swap cars till they all depart in there directions.......This route should be pretty good as a lot of area will be covered and will be able to run a lot of nice small trains on it as they do in real life.....
Finally someone is modeling this railroad great job and great choice for a railroad to model
Yeah I hear ya on that.....This RR is only a few miles from my house and for ever I dont know why I never modeled this RR.....Its so easy to do as a lot of there stuff are bad rails so a lot of the areas wont have to be straight or perfectly done.....A lot of weeds are on this line as you can see some of the pix here I will share to get an idea on how this line really looks ( to some people that dont know what they really look like) There whole line is pretty much 25-30mph if that as it is pretty bad....A lot of the lines now are gone as the Marinette branch has over 100+ cars on it for storage as they dont run out that way no more...Stiles Jct's sidings are all plugged up with storage cars, Wausaukee has a crap load of cars, Pembine has a few cars and I know a few lines way up in Michigan have a lot of storage cars as well......So this line should be a fun one to model.....
All we need now are some of there power that I might have a few people working on already....The SD9's in that picture have to be all redone by a guy as all the markings of the ELS are all in different spots, the headlights on these locos dont work....
Here are some of the pix of just the Stiles Jct and Oconto Falls area.....And this has gotten a lot worse than in the pix now
Oconto Falls
This view here is looking to the cut off to the right where there are warehouses that serve out veggies and the track that goes straight is the lead to the feedmill
This view is looking at the small run-a-round track that they use to shuffle the cars around to shove up to the mill and warehouse
View of the siding
Stiles Jct
This is Stiles Jct looking north to Crivitz...The track on the right is the mainline of course and the track on the left is the connector to Oconto Falls....The RR xing up there is hwy 22 and there is only 1 track...The track where the boxcars are on is another storage track that has about 50+ cars on it to this day
Here is a view of the depot, this shot was taken when the depot actually had a roof....Now the roof is all caved in and the depot is pretty much shot....I will post a pic of what it looks like today
The connector track to go to Oconto Falls
The nice looking depot back in the day and this is looking south to Green Bay
This is the ling that goes west to Oconto Falls for about 8 miles
