This layout is patterned after the South Fork Division of the Southern Railway in the Lake Cumberland area of Kentucky, and depicts the Southern Railway as it would have appeared near the end of the steam era (circa 1945).
There is 300’ of main-line and 6 stub sidings, a crossover between double tracks, and a passing siding. The layout is set up for multiple train switching operations

The Tropical RR has 400’ of main line track with 20’ diameter curves so bring on the Big Boys. The switching yard has 7 tracks for plenty of storage and there are several routes looping around the front and backs yards. All switches are #6 and are pneumatically operated via a sophisticated Airwire interface. All trains are battery operated and controlled with Airwire throttles. There is no track power.
