I am planning my layout and have been for a while but anyway my plans include to put a paper mill in the layout and for it to be a big part of my layout anyone have some pictures of a layout with a paper mill. Thanks Chris,

The biggest industry on my layout is a kraft paper mill. It has 2 chip tracks plus an unloader, two tracks inside the mill (modified Superior paper) and one outside, a machine shop, two acid tank tracks. There's a small yard, and a 3 track sawmill that shares it. It takes a bit more than an hour to switch out without any interruptions. Track plan: View of paper mill:
I have always like the Providence Northern paper mill (google image search it) and MRH is running a GREAt series now on Mike C.'s Allagash RR. One of Mike's DVDs was how he built his papermill http://model-trains-video.com/mob1-2.php ratled
Yes I like that set up TrainboySD40, I did some reading about paper mills they use just about every piece of rolling stock I have I guess that's why I like them the wife said I could eat plenty of pintos for supper and it will smell like a paper mill HaHa.
I'd like to do a paper mill module at some point myself and I appreciate the links. Mike Confalone's Allagash is my favorite model RR. The overall layout is extremely well done.
