    A greatly abbreviated depiction of work west of SP's West Colton in N scale. I need to keep the depth at around 12" to facilitate a longer mainline run opposite the isle.
    Goals;
    Space limits.
    Long enough siding for many cars.
    2 Loco Escape.
    Run around.
    A tail track for opposing point tracks without using industry tracks.
    Busy, but not overly complex.
    Industries;
    A1-Grit
    Peterman Lumber
    California Steel Interchange
    Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions or Master Metals

    I'm liking this iteration. I feel good enough to move ahead even if things change a bit.

    2023-06-25.png After considering what is easily recognizable I decided to replace Master Medal with Martin Marietta. MM has a distinct dome structure that should be a challenge to build. Note the turnout positioning vs how rolling stock will be pushed through. I attempted to straighten as much as I could for a smooth flow. The track between A1-Grit and the curved interchange is the tail/shoving track for Peterman Lumber and Martin Marietta.
