 Looks like 8 car trains can easily be handled into Anniebird No 1.  Can leave a string of 8 to be loaded and take another string down to East Lavender to be dumped.  Also means that I need to build or aquire 10 more hoppers.

 Considering assigning tonnage ratings to locomtives, just not sure how to go about it.

 More bad ideas abound in the Big Sandy Valley.  The tipple I started for Anniebird I have decided to move to Midway.  This leaves me free to put a much larger complex at Anniebird based on a tipple owned by the Pulaski Anthracite Coal Company at Parrot, Va.  The beuaty is that it sits paralell to the loading track, not over it so I don't have to worry about locomotive clearances.  It can also be modled by a building flat up against the backdrop, whichwill make it look imposing, yet help with scenery engineering in the area.

 I have defunately decided on the placement of the new tipple, after banging the cars aroud a little bit.  I can bring in 8 car trains at least, while having 8 loads already in the yard.  Construction continues on a nother pair of type 7 hoppers, which will bring the total number of hoppers up to 10.  Need to track down additional sources for On30 trucks.
