It has been a while my first post (5-16) regarding West Linncott on my pike:

I can now say most of the "heavy" work is done.  Since then, all the structures have been placed, involving quite a bit of kit-bashing and scratching.  I took a locomotive and a few cars down there, we can walk around and have a look in the following post.

This update includes the final two parts of the design and building of the Morris Stockyard/Feed Lot with 3D printed parts.  The video below (Part 3) shows some of the final testing that was done to ensure that the spacing between the siding and the cattle ramps was sufficient to permit a train to pass by all of the 18 ramps.  During the testing, I found one ramp that had to be moved back.  The train in the video is pulled/pushed by an Intermountain FT A/B with a few stock cars prior to beginning the next step of assembly.

This is the 2nd part of the story of the revision & building of the N-Scale stockyard/feed lot using a 3D printer for the parts. First here is a video of the 3D printer in action printing a section of fencing and gates.

One of the key industries for my layout was the ATSF stockyard/feed lot located at Morris.  It was designed to service at least 18 each 40 foot stock cars at a time and their associated livestock.  The purpose of the stock feed lot was to rest/water/feed the livestock while also cleaning & servicing the stock car trains traveling from the west and traveling to Chicago. The original track alignment is shown below.
