some more from Jacq
The largest industry on the layout
The revenu earning part of the station : The basaltworks
Based on similar structures in the middle and south of Germany I designed
this 6 silo basaltworks.
The silo's are operational and will discharge stones into waiting waggons.
The chutes are operated by memory wire and the gates by a linked actuated by
tortoise motors. Only one chute at the time can open and only when the chute is down.
When all silo's are filled there is enough material for a day's operating session and is
weighting 6 pounds.
The reason for existence of the station together : banking engines and basalt.
The sawmill with workshop / drying shed / narrow gauge logging line
