Host Name: 
Shannon Pratt

The Partytown and Farmdale Railroad is a privately-owned (formerly Southern Pacific branch) freight and passenger line running from Gotham City on the East end to its terminus in Vineyard Village in the West. The visible portion is about 12’ x 50’, #1 gauge (1/32), all indoors, automated, with lots of lights and animation. Most of the rolling stock was purchased from domestic lines such as Southern Pacific and Union Pacific, with some imported from Germany.

Staver Locomotive

Host Name: 
Larry Staver

An indoor #1 gauge layout, in a large industrial space, specifically built to run live steam locomotives. Staver Locomotive track plan is a folded dog bone with no scenery. There is room to walk with your train around the entire layout. This is necessary with live steam, since hands-on control is necessary at all times. The area inside the layout is set up with work stations for the preparation of steam engines. There is no electricity to the rails, so battery power is the other option for running. The trackage is mostly a single track mainline with sidings.

Blueberry Mountain Railroad

Host Name: 
Dennis Rose

The Blueberry Mountain Railroad was started fifteen years ago, running under a few blueberry bushes that gave the railroad its name. Now trains run through two tunnels, under a "mountain" and past a sawmill, a town and farm, each with some detailed wood and stone struc-tures. There is 230 feet of track bordered with miniature trees, bushes and ground covers that add to the realism.
