I got involved a few days ago asking list members for help with DL&W
concrete towers. Now I've though about expanding the project to include
some railroad. Since one who came to my aid provided a photo of the
Port Morris tower, I decided to lay track to simulate the area. The
attached screen capture is of 2 SD45's pulling some cars on the Cutoff
main. The tower design came from LOC drawings of a tower in Scranton,
so not the one that was really there.

What I would like help on is a compact design for the Port Morris yard,
ca 1950>60's. Though this wasn't a huge yard, modeling all the tracks
would tax the sim too much, so I'm looking for a smaller design
incorporating the major features; coaling, roundhouse. The design
should be compatible with the time frame that the Sussex branch was in
operation, since that's an operational possibilty here. Going east from
here, I will probably choose the Boonton Route.

Thanks in advance..

Hank
