Just kicking around an idea of a new switching layout with a Piggyback siding and Rual setting but we’ll see what happens. Inspiration was from GuilfordRailman and his small shelf layout. Thanks

This is a old Plaster Sheepscot Scale Product of a late 1950s Fruehauf Dump trailer. I’ll be using different parts from other trailers as well as styrene strips and some Custom building. I’m going to try to get as much details as I can on this one so it will look nice on my layout at the Coal...
