My layout depicts modern day diesel freight
operations, although I also will run steam trains
from time to time as well. The heart of the
layout is a fully functional freight yard, complete
with a 17 stall turntable, classification
yard, diesel service facility and fuel depot. The
layout is spread between 4 rooms, which allows
for great scenery transitions. 3 of the 4 rooms
are set in the mountains of the southeastern
U.S. The 4th room is set in the Rocky Mountains
of Colorado. Construction of the layout began in
2007 and the approximate completion date is
2020. While all major construction on the layout
has been completed, there is still much
scenery and structure work in progress, so this
is a great opportunity to see a layout which is
still growing and developing. There are 2 levels
of track and one layout can run 5 independent
trains at once, including a narrow gauge On30
line in the Colorado Room.
