P.C.C.M. #43J: Catching up on deliveries

Hi to any viewers out there!

Time to catch up on the delivery of several cars that were seen on KP&W trains in previous installments.

P&LE #35892, GM&O #21129, and TDLX (Cargill) #7241 were brought to Mayfield Yard in P.C.C.M. #43F, the opening installment on the Kings Port Division for this series.

Since then the cars have been cut from the train and sorted for delivery to their respective consignees.  They will go out on a local headed by KP&W RS3 #566

 The first stop is Cavendish Foods and Spirits which is receiving TDLX #7241 loaded with barely for Cavendish's whiskey distillery. 

Next up after that is ACME Auto Parts where a carload of bulk hardware is spotted.

The final set out for this short local is P&LE #35892, also loaded with bulk hardware.  It is dropped off at Peerless Appliance.

The next series of deliveries is provided by Extra #160 which was seen leaving West Mill on the KP&W's Mountain Branch in the last installment.   Working its way up the branch the Extra first sets out the aged Pacemaker car full of burlap bags at Agway feeds...

 ..and then pushes PC #360063, loaded with adhesive labels, up to Van Winkle Canning's loading dock.


The last delivery listed on the Dispatch Sheet for this series is B&M #105 which was dropped off at Williams Yard by Penn Central's Kings Port Turn.  It was last seen at the yard behind a PC gondola loaded with pipe.
 
Williams Yard dispatches "The Bakery Job" to serve Blue Ribbon Flour.  Two SW units pull B&M #105 and its load of printed packaging past the switch for the siding that leads to Blue Ribbon. 

The Bakery Job backs into the siding....

And prepares to set the car out at Blue Ribbon's lower level loading dock.

That completes the deliveries so far.  Only two more cars remain to be set out at their final destination; two B&M RBLs for Corning Glass.   These cars are currently sitting at West Mill and will be interchanged with the KP&W on its next run to Salamanca NY.    That action will occur in the next installment.

Meanwhile, a brief shift in topic.  The industries served by the KP&W in today's installment are building flats, my so called "facade industries".  Up until now I've been photographing them on a small diorama. 

Ever since modeler John B. posted this blog entry about a shelf layout he constructed....
 http://modelrrmisc.blogspot.com/2017/08/operating-facade-industry.html
 ....I've wanted to build something that would provide a dedicated place for my facade industries and also provide me the opportunity to actually operate with them.

With that in mind I constructed this small shelf layout below the river scene at West Mill Yard.

I'll post about this in more detail in the future. Right now its devoid of scenery, which is apparent in the car delivery photos, but I plan to fix that soon!

Meanwhile, stay tuned for the last installment of P.C.C.M. #43 tomorrow!

  1. Cappy Foster and his crews have really been earning their paychecks with all the car movements and locals to serve the local industries. Your shelf layout looks great and will give the virtual industries a real home. I’m a fan of the “Bakery Job” and the two switch engine lash up. Looking forward to the next segment. You’re going to need a vacation with all of the operations on the KP&W.

  2. Your flats are very impressive! I do like the expansion of the shelf layout area and looking forward to the progress on it as well. The flats are 'inspriratiional'! I do see great potential for the shelf layout. Keep it going!

  3. To: West Mill
    From: Terminal Yard

    Acknowledge delivery of freight cars by the KP&W.

    Terminal Yard out...

    A fine PCCM installment and an excellent showcase of KP&W power. The "Facades" add a lot to the car movements and the shelf layout will add further enjoyment and photo ops. Great work once again!
