[NW Modeling List]

Thank you for the advice on the bench work Cal. It sounds right and I can visualize it without any difficulty. I want to express my appreciation to all of you who have taken the time to furnish me with informative and thoughtful replies to my inquiries.
I really respect knowledge and experience in others and you are an outstanding group.
 
Sincerely

To David Braum. David Kalmbach Publications, on the web, has a number of good
books on layout design and construction.
I have built several layouts and suggest that with a space of your size, you
can get a lot of railroad. If you loop it and using 30" aisles your bench
width will be 21" each side which is very adequate for N scale. You will
see this in the various publications. There are publications dedicated to N
scale. I also suggest you explore the NMRA website and the vast amount of info
available there. Good luck, Cal Reynolds.

  David: I can't supply diagrams of the Bluefield yard, but may be able to
advise you about structure locations, as I grew up in sight of the middle yard
from 1946 to 1952 when I went to college, then off and on until about 1964. You
may want to contact me off-list at jamesanichols at bellsouth.net.  BTW: the
Bluefield yard was quite extensive. It would take up your whole layout and then
some. Obviously, you will need to do selective compression.   Jim Nichols

yards circa: 1946 to 1965


          I am new to this list, and to the hobby of Model Railroading.
          I have a space for an N - Scale Layout 6 feet wide and 60 feet long.
I want to model from Bluefield,West Virginia to Pounding Mill,Virginia... from
the years 1945 through 1965. 
          | need correct diagrams showing track layout and structure locations
of the Bluefield and Pounding Mill yards of the Norfolk & Western Railway
for the years indicated above.

          Would some knowledgeable Modler please reply with directions to a
resource where I can obtain this material?

          If one of the List - Subscribers currently has this material, I will
pay for reproduction and mailing costs if they wre willing to share their
information and materials with me.

          Thank you for the anticipated courtesy of a reply.
