A table-top two-level folded dogbone layout. Single track mainline with two long passing sidings. Freight yard with team track and town on the lower level; industrial area on the smaller top level. The scenery on lower level complete; upper level in process. A few scratch-built structures from my first foray into HO many years ago, and a few kit structures. Town is all pre-built Woodland Scenics and Walthers.
