SP&TV Track Plan - N scale

The N scale SP&TV

This is more of a schematic than a scale drawing, showing the layout of the current SP&TV.
1 = Walthers grain elevator
2 = Walthers feed mill
3 = Walthers Red Wing Milling
4 = Walthers Hardwood Furniture
5 = Office block: DPM corner drugstore, Reed Books, Otto's Parts
6 = DPM Department Store
7 = Bachmann Engine 9 Firehouse
8 = Blair Line church
9 = Bachmann modern house (church office)

The major industry, housed in the "milling" and "furniture" buildings, is Bearly Berries, which makes jellies and juices preferred by Teddy Bears all over the world. Tours of the facilities are a major source of excursion traffic. There's also a grain elevator and feed mill. The layout uses standard DC control with a single power pack. Turnouts are Peco with selective branch powering, so a train can be parked on a siding while another runs the loop and switches the other siding group.

This is a conceptual plan for expansion by adding another 2x4 foot section. It includes a car ferry or dock with a yard (10); a passenger station (11); and a sand mine (12). The plan includes lengthening the spurs at (3) to the edge of the section. The ferry would be unprototypical, but as you can tell from the photo pages, I like them!
