Thanks for the feedback and suggestions.

I\'ll try to get some pictures soon. Right now the layout looks like the plains, yep, the great blue plains.

Hello everyone,

My name is Clifton Linton. I live in Alameda, CA. I am originally from the Chicago area.

I found this web site thru Bill Denton\'s web site.

My interest lies in industrial switching and belt line operations. I used to live on the Northside about 6 blocks east of the line to Peerless. Sorry to hear that is OOS with Peerless closing.

I am attempting an N-scale layout based roughly on some of the Northside switching scenes. The Bloomer Chocolate factory has always fascinated me and will be the basis for a signature industry on my layout. I will take modeller\'s license and overlay BRC and Chessie system on the layout.

Thanks to everyone for creating and supporting this valuable web site.

Regards,

Modeling / N-scale roof water tanks - source?

« on: April 04, 2007, 06:14:54 PM »

Hello all,

I\'m a new member to the group. I am in the process of planning a small N-scale switching layout based on the Chicago area. The signature industry is drawn from the Blommer Chocolate factory.

I have been looking at pictures of Bill Denton\'s and Tom Burke\'s layouts with great interest. The one feature that really stands out to me is the water tanks on top of a number of their buildings.

Can anyone suggest a source of these? Or how to scratchbuild them?

I find this a very valuable site.

Thanks to those who created it and currently support it.

I also really like the pics taken along the Bloomingdale line that show the viaducts. I am including one of those on my layout.

Tks.
