Bonafied Grande Nut
Hi everyone. There's still a few details left to add, but here's the Grande's new diesel servicing facility in Sedalia Colorado. Locos headed west from the Joint Line into the Platte Canyon mining district get the TLC they deserve at the new facility. Eventually, helper units may be based there as well.
Here's a link to the original thread for the construction planning. http://www.modelrailroadforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5615
Thanks to everyone who added much needed input. After seeing NYC_George's cut down hopper, one may get added later... We were dealing with tight real estate requirements. The trackwork required two Peco curved turnouts. You've heard of selective compression? This wasn't to selective. Everything got compressed.
A few pics.
