ENGINE SERVICE TERMINAL

Over the years articles were torn out of magazines for future modeling projects and sorted by topic and placed in a folder. This engine terminal was planed from those tidbits of information. My conclusion was four tracks were required to make it all work implementing selective compression at its best.

 Dexter Street engine service yard is being tidied up and prepared for more detail after several years of neglect. All the structures are from Campbell Scale Models that were acquired when I did their web site. The structure on stilt legs at left is scratch built and not finished yet. It's a skip loader for scooping the ash pit into the gondola car.
 The 14" Bowser turn table fit perfectly into the opening left from the Heljan unit. My advise is to stay away from any plastic units as their performance if iffy at the best. The unfinished roundhouse at right will have to go as it's not deep enough for some of the steam engines
