This is a continuation of my original blog which documents the design and building of a model railroad, the Paducah and Lake Erie, a free-lance bridge line set in the modern time to replicate the coal hauling railroads of southwestern Pennsylvania.

Coal Yard Installation
Brian Post, who has been working the past several weeks on the electronics of the Paducah and Lake Erie, is helping install the coal yard that is a major feature of the railroad. It will be a four track yard, each capable of holding six coal hoppers, which will be shuttled around the corner to the loading facility. Once loaded, they will be returned to this yard, awaiting make up into the train to be sent out behind power coming from Paducah, Attica Yard, or Ashland Yard. Note, we are using the pink insulation material here.
