YARD LAYOUT

[NW Modeling List]

Thanks Gentlemen

I worked particularly hard on that map and chapter, spending an  
inordinate amount of time cleaning up that drawing. It is nice to  
know someone appreciates it. I also specifically laid the book out so  
that it would not have a portion fall in the gutter so that if  
someone wanted to copy and put the pieces together, they would not  
lose information as happens so many times.

Shaffers is a huge complex and I'd love to see a model of it.

The drawing in the book actually was part of a larger section,  
probably another foot or two on each end. It was part of a  
presentation C.E. Pond, GM of Motive Power presented to the  
Locomotive Maintenance Officers Association about 1949. There is also  
a drawing of Williamson in the paper. I do not recall directly, but I  
think there was also a drawing of Winston-Salem, NC as an example of  
a smaller locomotive terminal.
