YARD LAYOUT

[NW Modeling List]

Ken

 

The more I work with your yard facility drawings and photos the more help it has been.  The book is constantly open to the photo of the locomotive servicing facilities.

 

Very nicely done and your research and hard work are definately appreciated.

 

Again, thanks!

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.

Perfect!  The text and pictures are even better!
 
Thanks to you and Jim (archives) for your help - now all I got to do is build it!

The best I've seen for an engine terminal is in "The Norfolk And Western Class J" by Ken Miller.  Pages 52-53 have a great diagram of Shaffers Crossing in Roanoke.  The Richard Prince book also has a diagram of Portsmouth on page 90.

Hi Folks
 
Been searching the books and newsletters for a typical N&W engine servicing layout.  In Norfolk & Western Handbook found one for Williamson on p 120 but would appreciate any pointers of another for comparison and a bit more detail.
 
Many thanks!
