Dave, I'd like to see pics of your coal washing plant. I might try a downsized version some day. I've taken advantage of my living so close to the EBT and have made many trips to get photos. Since my standard gauge is contemporary, I decided to model the EBT as a present day tourist railroad. When I do operations, it will be set on a "Fall Spectacular" day, which will bring out the M-1, and allow for some mixed freight runs, etc.
