I just keep enjoying this thread, more and more with every photo Paul… Love, love, love it

Looking good Paul. Very organized Intermodal yard

Now that TOFC elements have been removed from the container yard, I can reorganize it. Here's my thoughts so far.

Not my thing Paul, so no informed comments from me, but enjoyable to watch from the sidelines nonetheless

Same Neil, but as I'm finding, it is amazing watching what others are up to. With me it's probably envious of the space to have such a project!!! :smiling:

Looking good Paul, very busy and full. You've certainly put some time into this.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

Thanks guys, it helps me to push along.

TOFC yard is ready for final gardening & wiring. I've been painting & decaling trailers, trailer frames & containers for the last few months standing up in the cave & cave annex to keep off my lazy ass. Now w/spring approaching, I can go back to sitting & working military stuff.

Current state of container yard. Now, on to the 10ton wrecker.

Upon reflection I realized I had no proper provision for refrigerated containers, so here is one.



Twin diesel generators to support facility & 7 reefer containers. The genny container was modeled after a 1:1 example found on-line. The pad is painted another "new concrete" color. Cables are guitar string.

Placement. I'll prolly only show 5 hooked up leaving two in well cars.

Slight distraction as noticed not enough siding for TOFC yard, so adding another. Cork roadbed nailed down, flextrack sections soldered together & ends trimmed, section of mainline removed, & turnout prepared for placement.
