I just purchased Walther’s Superior Paper Mill. It is a huge structure, Has anybody out there bought this item? If so, how did you run the trackage for it? BTW I have re-worked my layout into a up and over twisted dogbone. I get a lot more operation with less turnouts! Thanks to everybody that responded to my previous querry.

A paper mill is a big industry, and usually has both receiving and shipping trackage. There have been articles in MR over the past few years that you may want to check out. Here are a few of them from the MR magazine index. Enjoy!

Scott, I also have the mill on my layout. I have been working on several track plans trying to get something to work. I think I have one, but need to adjust the track first.

I have the same kit in N-scale. I’ve attached (I hope) my very simple plan for it. Hope it helps.
I’ve got one, but it’s going to be heavily kitbashed to fit the location. I’ll post up some pictures when I get it installed. I did the same thing with the Walthers power plant kit and it came out pretty good. So if it doesn’t fit the location straight out of the box, it is usually easier to change the structure than the track.
