Now that is a round house! Is it just me, or when locos got longer, did they come inside the circle, not outside? (and if that's true, are there any signs they made the turntable longer?)
I think I see a diesel shop too..
That thing looks bigger than my whole layout

 

The roundhouse roof is shorter over 8-10 stalls around the turntable at the top of the structure. There may have been a modification at some time.

 

1st hint:

This city was founded by Phoenician traders in the 8th Century BC.

 

Cadiz, Spain?

 

Palermo, Sicily....!

Sorry 'bout that.....snicker, snicker, snicker. :tb-tongue:

 

That's OK, I will get you later when you reach Advance-Land :tb-wink:

 

Congratulations, Hytec!

Palermo, Sicily, Itlay



p.s. Am I making the 1st hints too easy?
thats two in a row off of the first hint.

 

I did narrow down the search to a very small area...

:tb-wink: :tb-wink: :tb-wink: :tb-wink:

Well, not that small actually. The Phoenicians settled many areas in the Med during the 8th Century BC. I'm interested in the history of that area, and electric railways in general. The eastern Med, Egypt, and the Balkans have no electrics to my knowledge, so that left Sicily, Italy, and southern Spain...I just got lucky, and quickly.

As far as Anaconda, MT...I think the BA&P has a neat history, and when you said electrified in '08, that's all she wrote.

To be honest, I haven't been doing all that well overall, if you notice....:tb-biggrin:
