I recently installed a set of Coke Ovens near the wye at Dolores. The Coke Ovens were made many years ago by Trains of Texas, and were located near Durango on my old layout. I was able to salvage this industry from the old railroad when I dismantled it, and now I have another switching location on the new RGS layout.
I installed the Coke Ovens with two sidings, with a total capacity of 14 cars. Both turnouts are powered using Tortoise switch machines, controlled by Touch Toggles.

Glad you were able to re-use the great looking coke oven scene, on the new layout.
