    For my save, I made a set of 3% bridges following the shore into the mountains from the Sawmill to the Iron mine. It was fairly straight, just (sorta) follow the contour of the hillside as you descend and you should end up at the lake, behind the sawmill. I connected it to where I pick up the lumber and beams to make it easier (Betsy can do it with ~2 T2 lumber cars).
    From there, I was able side wind up to the smelter, again with a 3% grade. I also made a track (3%-4% grade) down the west side of the smelter that circles around behind the logging camp (to make cord wood less annoying).

  • @Skirakzalus
    @Skirakzalus Рік тому +15

    I wish they'd swap the cord wood and iron platforms at the smelter. Unloading cord wood three cars at the time was okay for a bit, but it got old quickly.
    Ideally the coal mine should be usable before the smelter (so give it other resources as supplies) and then we'd fire up the smelter with coal.

    I would recommend building the tracks to the sawmill from the iron mine, it's shorter and you can do it with a 2.5% if you build on the lake, the lake as far as I know is only 0.5 - 1 metres deep everywhere so you are fine

  • @JAK359PB
    @JAK359PB Рік тому +2

    Glad you're keep up with RRO was sad when you and Hyce stopped posting together.
    Was thinking it might be worth it to build a small shunt yard off that 6% before getting to the smelter. Then you could build and break up trains there and not have to worry about fouling the one out bound side of the smelter and the helpers can unhook there so the slow shays dont have to go all the way around the loop and swith back to normal engones.

    A couple of things I'd do if it were my RR- One, I'd still put the switches in for the cordwood. Especially if you do plan to release the map to the public at some point. Leave the lines a little long, at worst you can store extra cordwood there and transfer loads from the extras to empties to the transfer cars. Second, I'd set up that other loop further back. The one that fouls the iron loading. Either that, or stage the hopper cars on that track and leave it up to whatever engine is working the yard to classify them. It would essentially just be another yard job at that point for whoever is working there. Definitely want to have a turntable at the smelter, along with all the other necessities. As much work as it'll see, it will definitely become a hub.

  • @marcintracz4695

    I got my track there completly diffrent. I went from sawmill to iron mine like constant 3% then single line for smelter from there only for iron loads to unload. Cordwood and output goes on 2nd track also 3% to freight depot. Nice to see diffrent solution

    I don't know if its in your plan or what you want to do with the iron line but adding a siding that has a significant hump at the very top of the climb from the iron mine would mean you could shove iron hoppers up a hill with the climbing engines and have them roll to the smelter. Possibly with more hopper cars staged so you could just take a set of empties down to fill and not have to deal with shunting at the actual iron mine

    As for the smelter, move the tight 30 loop further away so it links to the outside of the shunt yard, this way the outside is the main and the inside is for loading. Doing it as such will let trains pass while one is loading the iron. Might have to shift the entire shunt yard a bit, but there's plenty of room on the "iron mine" end of it.

    I'd skip the Shay and go straight to a Heisler or Climax for the iron mine. Will require more deliveries to the freight depot to make the money, but Shay just won't do much. Maybe unless you use the high wall gondola cars for iron ore instead of hoppers. The gondolas are better for prize/capacity and weight to load ratio.

I know that the trains will go opposite directions depending on flats and hopper cars, but there's not enough room for both so why not park the hopper cars at the smelter until iron is needed and when the flats have emptied the lumber and left the iron mine?
