The Sub Buttons to this page will included some of the changes to the Chile Verde Line that have been made over the last couple years (since early 2021). It's now December 2024, so much of this does not truly fall under the category of what's new.
​
In November of 2023 I, with the help of Bruce and Chipper, removed the potbelly stove. The stove was not necessary as I have wall board heaters in the train room. We also added a 8’ by 6’ extension on the layout that is adjacent to and on the inboard side of the engine house. I covered the plywood top with very fine sand that is abundant on our property. I added the 8’ by 6’ section because I wanted to add more operation potential to the indoor part of my railroad.
I soon will be adding my in progress machine shop. I've added a freight house, a small manufacturing building (William's Wool Warehouse), and at some point I will add a merchandise warehouse. I've also added the Banta CONOCO gas station. I installed three switches which provided three track sidings. Doing so allows for the placement of five freight cars. The track adjacent to the engine facility use to be the caboose holding track. It's now the track for the machine shop. It is also now a pick-up and destination point for two cars.
