I never designed a engine service area for the layout. Just off the entrance to the paper mill yard (PMY) is an area I was neglecting but it was the recycling center for the Steel Company across the tracks. Really just never got to the space. But it did hold 4 spots for an operating session.
plenty of length and decently wide enough for a single lane enginehouse. Big enough for quick overnight check ups and minor repairs. A place to shove the engines overnight both in an outside the center. I am imaging a 5 spot facility.
there is plenty of space and it has easy access to the yard. I envision the CN trains dropping cars in the yard, heading over to the engine service area waiting for their train back to St Point to be assembled,hooking up and leaving town. While the WRVT RailRoad only owns 3 locomotives there would be room on the outside track for visiting power to be serviced if needed.
I am looking forward to working on this area. I will be taking a break from the Paper Mill and weathering of pulp wood cars. I am hoping to post after tonight a couple times a week. Fingers crossed
