I'll show you mine . . . If you show me yours.
Lets share ideas on putting together an industry with contents available on DLS.
Before we go on . . . I've been Trainzing for only 3 months so comments on my stuff to help improve my route building technique is welcomed.
If you decide to show us yours . . . . don't forget the "TELL" part. Tell us how the industry serves your route . . . tell us a little about your route.
My route is "Southern Cal Western" loosely based in Southern California and is a fictitious route. The season is late spring to early summer. My favorite time of the year. The route is far from finished but the mainline between two cities is almost done and a branch line from each city is just about done. 2 to 4 branch line from each city is planned. Its a large route. 30 minute drive between cities, 22 minute drive to branch yard and industries. When finished in a year or so, it should be a 3 to 4 hour drive between two farthest cities.
I like to run trains with 30 to 50 freight cars and 10 to 20 car passenger trains. I thought about Industries and could not find ones that are large enough to visually seem to be able handle a 30 car train.
I'm sure, like many of you I've decided to "kit-bash" industries from contents available from DLS. I've done a few and I'm starting to run out of ideas. So I thought if we shared ideas . . . we can all benefit.
Here are mine . . . a couple now and more later.
This is my very first . . . like many of you its a small coal mine. In my world its been there for over 40 years . . . therefore the strange yard layout. 40 years ago it was producing only 4 or 5 car load of coal a day. Today it produces 30 to 40 car loads a day. The yard was enlarged but was never redesigned. You can only load 6 cars at a time so some shunting is required. (Most of my images are 1360 pixel wide)
