My urban DC switching layout represents the southern terminal of the M-K-T’s Sherman branch from Dennison. A crew of three operates the local that switches 12 industries and two interchanges. The layout features code 70 and 55 track. Small and large industries are nicely modeled in this northern Texas setting.
The NCE DCC controlled layout includes industrial, logging and main line freight and passenger operations. A connected industrial switching layout is in an adjoining space. The era of operation depends on the members that are operating. The logging operations include a branch with truck reload and spar tree high-line rig. Scenery reflects the Pacific Northwest. Diesel and steam facilities, including turntable, are part of the main yard.
We’re a freelance Digitrax DCC HO layout with double dogbone style mains looping thru mountains, valleys, towns, across large steel bridge, trestles, peninsulas, and main yards. An industrial line loops off main yard thru bay-front town, industrial yard, under layout, to center mining area and then back into bay yard. Lots of hidden track, tunnels, reverses loops, to keep engineers on their toes. Our second room has two yards for train set up, holding and main line through track.
Operated by Digitrax DCC. Two level railroad is in a 36x48 building, with a double helix in a separate room. We have steam & diesel, some sound. This railroad depicts SP and its branch lines from Eugene to Klamath Falls, East & West side branches to Portland, and a branch to Coos Bay, with a lot of harbor scenes. An extra feature is a switchback with logging and a large sawmill.
Digitrax DCC. The Great Basin and Pacific is a freelance version of the Southern Pacific's Modoc Line, between Klamath Falls, Oregon and Wendel, California. Year is 1952, after the Southern Pacific assumed control of the GB&P. S.P. steam locomotives are working out their last years on this line.
This is a Digitrax controlled, 650' double and single track mainline with 40-50 car freights rolling across the spectacular mountains and canyons of Northern Arizona in 1967. Two levels at 43" and 56" provide brisk mainline action, a 200' helper district and lots of switching in a carpeted depot with Air Conditioning.
Digitrax DCC. Loosely based on the line from Albany to Toledo, OR, the Cascade Pacific Railroad moved freight from the port at Toledo to Albany for interchange with Southern Pacific. The old layout was demolished in 2011. We are in our third year of construction, with everything from bare plywood to completed scenes.
The Batline Railroad is a point to point, around the walls helix with 2 or 3 decks and a middle peninsula. It stresses forwarding of cars and uses car cards in 3-bin boxes. It has wide aisles and drop-ins spanning the entrance door.
Digitrax DCC control. This 500 square-foot switching layout features three lines working together to service customers. A large paper mill, small industrial park and several industries are served. Staging and a car float provide outside world connections.
This is a DCC layout depicting the Southern Pacific from Eugene to Klamath Falls with emphasis on the massive mill at West Fir Logging. The mainline has a prototypical grade of 2% and climbs two and half feet in elevations. Enjoy the end of steam and first genera-tion diesel power. (Square footage-2600)
