Die Anlagenbeschreibung im O-Ton:

»The model depicts the Operations of the Adirondack Branch from Saratoga N.Y. to North Creek N.Y. and on to the National Lead Mine at TAHAWUS N.Y. (Sanford Lake)

The major towns and industries are: from Saratoga going North, Corinth home of the International Paper Company. There are two Paper Mills in Corinth: The Kraft Mill (new) and the Older Finishing Mill. There are also some small local service provider such as a CO_OP, Fuel dealer and a Team track.

Next is Warrensburg also a Paper Mill town. Warrensburg Board & Paper is a staging track along the line. The next town is North Creek. I have taken some liberty with North Creek. The model is a little larger than the real thing as I took license to increase the traffic volume. North Creek is home to an engine facility, a small yard to hold and classify local traffic and store and repair empty hoppers for National Lead at TAHAWUS. Major local industries are: Gilmore Feed and Seed, Suburban Propane, Ireco Chemicals, Peck & Peck Clothing and a CO-OP. There is also a Team Track. Twenty five miles north of North Creek located at Sanford Lake is the Great Eastern Lumber Company that has a Saw Mill as well as a Planing Mill also in Sanford Lake Arthur White & Sons of Corinth N.Y. has a loading track to load logs for the paper mills. Further North at Tahawus are located the National Lead Mine that produces Titanium and the Republic Steel smelter that produces iron ore pellets. I have taken license to include the Republic Steel Smelter in the model on a temporary basis until I can build a Sinter plant which would be more prototypical.«
