Rollingstock for Case Industrial, Industries chosen

The other day I stopped in at the local second hand store, which stocks quite a collection of model trains from the more modern variety to old Triang and Hornby trains and track.

I went there specifically looking for cars for Case Industrial. And 3 cars were found that were suitable - 2 box cars (an L&N and a PC), and a gondolla (PRR), all 40 scale feet long. The only work that needs to be done on them is to convert the couplers to knuckle couplers, and maybe some weathering.

I have also decided on what industries to have on the layout

• NY Minerals - ships and receives coal, aggregate and dry cement in hopppers and gondollas.
• East Coast Food Distribution - A warehouse that ships and receives food products in box cars and reefers.
• Freight Transfer Track - Can receive or send any type of car, but mostly will be flatcars with machinery or containers, and box cars.

Here is the layout, showing where the various industries will be:
