1950 New York Central steam, Pittsburgh to Ashtabula Harbor, OH, NCE cabs, 365' mainline w/ passing sidings

Is a depiction of railroad activity in Central New England in the late 70s and early 80s. Thru trains originate and finish in the staging yards while locals originate in either the large, WCL classification yard or the small yards in the industrial areas.

This layout attempts to recreate the B&M Route between Concord, NH and Woodsville, NH in 1954. All eight passenger trains of the era are represented as well as several local and through freights.

The Red Oak Railroad is a point to point operations layout encompassing scenes of 7 towns in central New Hampshire. The theme is late steam and early diesel.

The triple level railroad features both the Maine Central and the Bangor and Aroostook set in the mid 60’s to early 70’s. The 2 large yards and papermill with road jobs and locals will keep operators busy.

Modern layout loosely modeling CSX mainline action from Baltimore Maryland to Richmond Virginia. Assignments include two yard masters, a port operator, several locals with switching, through freights, unit trains and passenger trains.

The VJRR is a point-to-point system running on a schedule with a fast clock, train instruction cards and waybills. Crew size is eight consisting of dispatcher, two yard masters, a branch line operator and four main line crews.

I use timetable and fast clock with operating signals, and mix freight operations with local and express passenger service.

The SJR&P is a F/Fn3 1:20.3 scale outdoor garden railway with nearly 5000 feet of track, over 250 pieces of rolling stock, and more than 40 locomotives powered by DCC. The focal point of the SJR&P is narrow gauge operation.

The D&H RR in upstate New York circa 1990. The layout is fully signaled. With main line jobs and local switching jobs. I use a unique car forwarding system that does not require good eyesight.
