A chronicle of the construction of my CSX N scale Florida-based industrial switching layout.

Blank Slate
More Google Maps adventures! I cannot stress how good of a modeling tool this is. Today I found this gem on the Brooksville Sub. It's a industrial rail park that never got developed, or only halfway so. Depending on the maps viewer you use, there will be two industries or no industries active, which tells you the age of their imaging. 84 Lumber and the small plastics manufacturer (not in photo) packed up shop. This spur sits abandoned, practically brand new, waiting for the economy to turn around. Personally, it seems like a great modelling project. 10 scale feet in N scale with 6 industries! Plus, any industries you'd like can be placed on the empty spurs. Proto-freelancing at its finest! I'll probably draw a track plan or to of this area. this spur is just north of Masaryktown on the line and outside of Springhill, about an hour from my home. I may make a trip to go photograph it, but street view does it justice!
