"We have begun construction of the Roland Roberts yard for our permanent layout." The layout will include a double track main line interchanging with a single track main line. The state of the art design provides a linear walk-around model railroad using the "mushroom" techniques to greatly increase running length. It's a great design and will be a large undertaking for the membership. Please check our progress on the permanent by clicking on the "Layout Const. Update" button on the left.
