This HO layout is set in the transition era of steam to diesel around 1959 to 1964. Most of the motive power is first generation diesel in both the classic block and script lettering of the Canadian Pacific.

The size is approximately 20 feet X 12 feet with continuous running and a separate staging yard in another room.

A Digitrax DCC system with sound is used for locomotive control.

Scenery is 90% completed and most structures are scratch built or craftsman kits with additional details.

Car control is maintained by index cards with pockets that hold load and destination tags. When a car arrives at its destination the load tag is flipped over to show the new destination and load or empty condition of the car.

Look for many little details on this layout, which add to its overall quality.
