I've been following this thread with vague interest, since I think railyards
are neat, and was wondering...
I work at a major industrial plant, which ships upwards of 70%(1) of it's
product via rail and there is a large rail presence on the site. I'm not a
trainhead, so apologies if some of my terminology is off. Around 8 or 10
engines strictly for shunting around, a pair of rail yards, a car wash, an
engine shed (and workshop?) and several loading platforms for various products
in various places (something like a dozen or so). There's also a bunch of
other things that presumably have other train-related arcane purposes. ;)
Would people be interested in seeing a mocked-up (or scanned, if I can get my
hands on the resources) layout?

trucks I see coming and going. I might be out to lunch.
