Hi All.
My layout is a fictitious preservation railway (so that I can run just about anything), but my idea is to have the preservation centre share a branch line with one or more industries still served by rail to allow for extra operating potential.
Ideally I'd like to include an industry that would realistically receive different items (like raw materials) arriving in different types of freight stock and then dispatch other items (like finished products, by-products, waste etc) hopefully in other different types of freight stock.
Also I'd prefer to use closed or covered freight stock so that there is no need to visibly "unload" or "load anything at the industry. For example, delivering wagons filled with coal and then taking the same wagons away later still filled with coal spoils the illusion.
Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
