I had torn up half my layout to get to this point some time ago and I could not run trains. Too many slow projects. My train room is an air conditioned 3rd garage about 15 X22. The layout is around the wall double track main line running north and south. There is a removable section at the doorway. The reason for Carbondale junction is to utilize my love of Santa Fe and NYC or Big Four passenger service. It is a rural interchange between the two lines for a more direct route from Kansas City to New York City and vice versa. This fictitious interchange was born in 1948. I have also given limited track rights to the Southern Pacific for additional refrigerated products from Texas to be exchanged with the ATSF and the NYC, as well as an excuse to run the cab forward I spent so much time on. This layout rebuild is going to utilize Atlas 2 rail with an N scale third rail and I will document the process. Wish me luck.
Half the layout torn up.
The current rural station location and railway express building. The station area will be modified
This area will be greatly expanded as an engine servicing site for steam and diesel and an icing facility.
