This module represents the G. Heileman Brewery and surrounding industries in La Crosse, WI. The module set will be 24 feet long consisting of eight 4 foot modules. I had to get a little creative with the modules to get the scene to fit, turning 4 modules on the long end. The track plan follows what what was in use in the 1960’s. To get everything into the width I had to reverse a couple of tracks.
Operations
This module has a total of 23 car spots including box cars, covered hoppers and tank cars. Currently, the two tracks at the top right of the track plan above are used as interchange tracks and extend onto the Frank Let Fuel module. These tracks hold enough cars for a complete interchange with this module, as well as the rest of my layout when used at home.
When used alone at shows, the cars and locomotives represent 1989 and are switched with wither an SW-9 or a GP-35. A single track module is added to the left of the track plan above to allow switching the grain cars and the back track.
