Looking east, inbound, down the BNSF tracks at Home Avenue in Berwyn, Illinois

The fog always seems to stack up in the train yard across from work just before it gets light. I finally took a few shots, and I liked how the B&W came out. Looks better in large. Pasco, WA 02DEC08 (Apparently this made Explore on 02DEC08 #457)

Back from the east coast, it was a much shorter trip from Oakland to Hercules and Pinole for a little walkabout near Bayfront Park.

I started thinking about building Track Pans recently for use on our club's train layouts. A steam heavy RR like the PennLUG needs to get it's water from somewhere and with my PRR steam fleet and Nate being suduced by the New York Central (two big users of pans) they just seem right for us. So I spent the better part of my Saturday researching Pennsylvania RR style track pans (fortunately I have a few books on the Pennsy) and then did my best to translate into LEGO.

 

This isn't perfect but should still be a good representation of Pennsylvania RR style practice. The pans themselves were pretty narrow (only about 19inches) so I wanted to keep mine to 2 studs wide. Along each side of the track for the length of the pans the Pennsy would typically have cobble stone lined runoff channels to manage spillage and keep erosion of the roadbed to a minimum. A locomotive moving at speed while scooping could throw up a lot of water.

 

Actual track pans would be quite a bit longer than this (and when PennLUG eventually builds ours they will be) but this should give some idea of what I'm going for.

 

Now I need to design a pump house for the water pumps and to provide steam heat to keep the pans from freezing in winter.

Thought I'd post a color version of yesterday's daily photo because I'm really not sure which version I like better.

 

Please notice the Sunfield grain elevator beside the tracks a couple miles down the way. You can just barely make it out in this photo.

The road paralleling the tracks is Gates Road. Do note that:

 

1) I'm (also) stopped on Gates.

2) A driver making the left turn indicated by that sign will remain on Gates.

3) If that hypothetical driver turns to the right--which is permitted, though it's a dead end--he or she will still be on Gates.
