Layout Update Mondays: Operations

Track Capacity Chart for the Tribute to Springfield layout.

While benchwork is well underway, I decided for this week's update to give a sneak peak at what the final use of this project will be.  The operational scenario for the layout revolves around delivering box cars of exhibitor displays for the show. The setup for the scenario is as follows:

• Young Building Loading Dock - Two Box Cars - One to be switched out, One to be Re-spotted
• Slide Loading Dock - One Box Car - One to be switched out
• Interchange Track - Two Box Cars - One car to be spotted at Young Building, One Car to be spotted at the Slide Loading Dock
• Locomotive is parked at the MOW area at the bottom right hand corner of the layout.

The only real rule to keep in mind is that no cars can be left on the grade crossing. Stopping to uncouple the locomotive on a grade crossing is ok.

Think you can handle the challenge?
