Over the past while I have been rying to figure out what to do for train 4...
After watching a show on crains on TLC I had a thought about building a
Ship/Rail cargo area. I was thinking of having a large (working?) crane for
unloading vessels, and placing the containers on container trucks. Also I
would have an additional Crain to load cargo onto the train (via a spur line??)
The problem I was finding with this was trying to fit it into the Altenburg
'model'. Due to the dam we know have two elevations of water. there is the
upstram area which is located in the center of the modules, and we have the
down stream area (the outside of the modules) this means that the shipping
area would be inside the center? right? If any one can come up with a better
layout using a spur line or two let me know...
Here are some links for what I was thinking...

and the track designer files

Your input would be greatly appricated, if the powers that be (Derek, Jeff
E, Calum) do not want suck a huge area to be used by this I will think of
something else to build...
