Design Process

The following PDF was the design process that I went through when creating Riverside Transfer 2.0. Not everything made it into the final design, but it was a great process that really helped me determine what was important to includ. Here is a pdf that outlines my design ideas, goals and current plans.
(Some pages might take a while to download when scrolling through PDF)

Below is the layout design for my existing layout. By existing, I mean that I have laid the track and it is operational. While my actual layout is a U shape with a peninsula, it was very helpful to create this operation map of my layout. I have added names for all the locations and industries on my layout.
