Continuing with progress on the EP Minerals plant. The final track arrangement was a compromise between keeping the spurs easily accessible and attempting to capture the look of the actual facility. The final track arrangement does include 3 spurs - one for the loader, one for a storage track, and a third one that runs along the long warehouse for the occasional loading of box cars but can also be used as a storage track.
With the track installed and painted, next job was installing the wiring, and the turnout linkages. As this is a removable section of the layout, this was an easy job to do while it is sitting up on the saw horses.
The buildings showed in the last post have started to get some paint. The loader building got a base made of tempered hard board to increase the vertical clearance for the covered hoppers that will enter it. A sheet of fiberglass reinforced plastic has been made into a removeable where the rest of the plant can be built at the work bench.
