    Zone 4, Spot 427 or Webb Belting and Supply.

    Nice memory here, an addition to this business was my father's first construction project in Kansas City after opening his own doors in the early 1950s.

    Thanks for posting.

    Sometimes it takes a while for inspiration for me to sink in.

    I am glad that I took another look at these, especially Zone 2. Between these charts and some photographs I have seen, I think I have settled on my next "north of Olathe" Layout Design Element.

    Page 22 of 24 includes some modelable industries including R. L. Faubion and Rodney Milling, plus interchange opportunities with both AT&SF and MKT, plus the Fairgrounds Branch.

    The track arrangements - especially at Rodney Milling - appears to be different than the tracks listed on old Sanborn Maps from the 1930s and 1940s.

    So I am either going to have to reconcile that aspect or just split the difference and use Modeler's License for what will fit best in my available space.

    Best Regards,

    While progress in the tangible model space has yet to materialize, I have been keeping up on my research of the Fairgrounds Branch industries.

    Thanks, Rich.

    Saw the post on various elevations and I am glad that you did the research and that I took the time to read it.

    It has saved me from going in a very unnecessarily wrong direction in the space I have allotted for everything south of Schutte Lumber.

    Best Regards,

    The dedicated Frisco modelers Rich refers to in the discussion about elevations were Mark Davidson (mark) and yours truly.

    One day we used four different devices to get GPS elevations - two iPhones, one iPad and the navigation system in my company vehicle.

    Impressive field work, Keith and Mark!

    The data that you provided to Rich that he shared is a lot easier on my eyesight than trying to make out contour lines on a topographic map.

    Best Regards,
