Jacq's layout part 6

[jacq01]

     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 linkage actuated by
      tortoise motors. Only one gate 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.
