Layout Scenery, Track and Infrastructure Projects

 

We've been hard at work on many scenery and infrastructure projects on the layout late this winter, spring and summer. See some of our projects as they progress. Perhaps most spectacular of the rennovations was to our narrow guage area. We've shortened the loop by replacing the old trestle with a hand built one which is much more accurate. The project also involved a major cleanup and restoration of the buildings in the area.
