HO Multi-deck mushroom design depicting the Southern Pacific Siskiyou Line of southern Oregon in the 1980s. Uses NCE wireless DCC for control, and covers the
prototype route from Eugene, OR to the massive wood products facility in Dillard, OR. Also includes a freelanced version of the Coos Bay coast branch as it might have-
been into Roseburg, OR instead of Eugene.
Four mainlines run the perimeter of the large room with a single leaf bascule bridge allowing visitor access to the center of the layout. A large passenger yard and station is
completed plus a second yard under construction. The layout is made for switching, to there is little scenery.
A compact layout that represents the West Coast to East Coast on a flat, modern layout with pool power and lots of point-to-point operations. All the UP heritage units and
half of the NS heritage units are included (but not all on the layout at once). BNSF, UP, NS, CSXT, KCS, CP, CN, and a few others are represented.
This layout is freelance, controlled by NCE DCC. Mainline and yard is mostly UP with some SP&S & GN. Mainline is a dogbone with 290' of track. There is a large logging operation with 285' of track from woods to mill. See the article in February 2015 NMRA Magazine.
NCE DCC controlled Cascade Timber explores Pacific Northwest logging operations in 1945-55. Two logging camps/reloads are connected to a mill complex with log pond and SP&S/GN mainline. Branch lines extend to a port area and a grain elevator in wheat country. Operations include steam and diesel.
DC 2.5 years into construction fully functional, scenery mostly completed. Yard area includes roundhouse and other facilities mainlines: 4 continuous loops with passing sidings, 2 loops are east-west at an average height of 50", minimum radius of 48", one loop contains grades to achieve a height of 55", the remaining loop runs from this 55" height to a height of 56" with minor grades.
This layout was built with the idea of using it as a teaching tool as well as for fun for the students at our school. The layout is a double mainline most of the way round with a main yard, steam facility with round-house, diesel facility, 2 passenger depots, and a mountain division that is under construction.
This layout models the 1950 Cajon Pass Summit area in great detail, nearly uncompressed, as well as part of the grade that leads to it. Hand laid Central Valley track with 60" minimum radius is scaled from Santa Fe blueprints and scenery is scaled from USGS topo maps.
Radio DC and MRC DCC. Well established portable sectional club layout with scenery changing liftouts. Many commercial and kit bashed structures, carved cliffs, grain silos and other industries, plus a neat farmstead. Also a 10-foot staging yard, branch line featuring tourist train and small town industries. 'U' shape, double track oval mainline with yard, local industries, and highline branch line. Hand-painted backdrops with foam based textured mountain scenery means bring your video and photo cameras! Visitors will also see 3 more layouts here in HO, Lionel, and 'N' scale.
Long 60-foot unit trains are the norm here on this layout, plus long passenger trains. Highlights include a 24 foot model circus, airport, winter sports area, large grain elevator, campground, cemetery, and town scenes. And a 20-foot 6-track passenger station, plus stub ended business car tracks and a passenger train car wash. Staging area uses a 16-foot long 16-track yard. Bring your video and photo cameras!
