The Repair-In-Place facility is quite today. Only one car waits to
be repaired today. A RIP facility can add a lot of operational as well as scenic
interest to a layout. Cars arrive, spend the rest of the operating session being
repaired, and then continue their journey the next operating session.
A Burlington Northern train powers through a small industrial area
with a long freight. The train has just arrived at the top of a steep grade and the
locos have worked hard to keep the train on time.

Coal mining is a popular model subject within the hobby. Here the
mine has filled all the cars provided by the railroad. Later a mine local will
arrive and replace the loaded cars with empty cars, and will take the loaded ones
to the nearest yard for pickup by another train. A freight train makes it way past
the mine, headed further into the mountains.
