As many of you know, the
39th National Narrow Gauge Convention is being held in Sacramento this September. I am excited to announce that my layout will be on the tour! My layout is about 60 miles out of Sacramento.
Based on largest of the 2 foot gauge railroads in Maine, this On2 bi level
layout is housed in 2,400 square foot room.
The walk along design is based on the 1916 ICC track survey with a 900
foot mainline and uses a NCE wireless DCC system. A 12 car train elevator is utilized to
connect the two benchwork levels.
The 24 hour cycle bicolor LED lighting system is controlled
by the fastclock. Sunrise/sunset times
vary with month assigned for each operating session, and lighting conditions
vary with weather conditions chosen for the session.
Still early days with 100% of benchwork and trackwork done,
but only just starting on an 80 foot section of scenery
There has been a lot of work going on here on the layout. As with all large projects, it has been a journey. I look forward to posting more information about my layout in the coming weeks and I hope to meet some of you on the layout tour!
