Woodys Munsick Gypsum-Iron Co.

This mod adds either a Gypsum Mine or Iron Mine & its accompanying company town to Dillsboro across the river from Dillsboro Yard. Intakes & outputs ~40 Cars a day at T5 for gypsum version & up to 75 ore jennies a day for the iron version. The maximum grade on the branch is 2. 4% with an average grade of 2. 3% & a speed limit of 35 Mph on the branch.

There are 2 different versions of the mod available, The Munsick Gypsum Company & The Munsick Iron Company. The 2 different versions are mutually exclusive & cannot be run at the same time. Both versions feature the branch line up to the mine as well the company town alongside the mine. The mine itself features 5 loading tracks as well a warehouse track for unloading mining supplies. Both versions were created with the intent of spicing up the Dillsboro Area with a larger industry to serve as well as adding some extra scenery to the Dillsboro area. The specifics of the different versions are detailed below.

1. The Munsick Gypsum Company is the Vanilla+ version of the mod. It orders ~40 hopper cars from the Interchange as well as 1-2 boxcars of mining supplies each day. The hopper cars load quickly & locomotives dont interfere with the loading process as the industry is not teleporting.

2. The Munsick Iron Company is intended for modded playthroughs as an Iron Ore Supplier for Katers Tuckasegee Steel Works. The mine orders 1-2 boxcars of mining supplies from the interchange each day & produce's 6000 tons of iron ore each day at T5. This iron ore must be captively transported to the Steel Works with your own ore jennies. The mine can supply just over 80% of the Steel Works daily demand for iron ore with both industries at T5. When combined with Kater's Alarka Iron Mines & Walker Iron Mine this can enable you to run all 3 of the mines at lower production tiers to reduce the number or size of locomotives needed to haul the heavy ore trains to the steel mill. Alternatively combining all 3 mods together at T5 can allow you to deliver 180% of the steel mills daily ore demand. Due to the mine's high production output, larger ore jennies such as Trowzr's 80T Ore Cars or CoachFreeman's 120T Ore Jenny Cars are recommended, the loading tracks are sized to handle 15 & 13 of each respectively.

This mine should be compatible with most Dillsboro area mods as the wye track to the mine branches off at a generally unused point on the Cowee siding. This mod is known to be compatible with the Mudge Henderson Gypsum Mine when using Arsenals Dillsboro Gypsum Wye Compatibility Patch.

New! Several users had commented that switching at the mine was quite tedious due to the limited track space available & that they had to travel all the way up to the mine, build up & take the loaded train to take down to Dillsboro, then repeat the process in reverse to get the e
