This HO scale layout is a free-standing walk-around DC table layout measuring about 6 ft × 10 ft (185×305 cm). The track is almost entirely code 83 Walthers Shinohara Nickel-Silver, in flex track and DCC-friendly turnouts. The menu at the left will direct you to various presentations of the layout development. Have fun poking around!

I started planning this layout in the Fall of 2005, and a year later had the basic track plan developed and the initial benchwork built. Electrical wiring was essentially complete by October of 2008—man, was that a big job!

Current status: Benchwork retrofitting complete; preparing to fine tune turnouts and track prior to gluing track to the roadbed. Progress seems slow, but this is a hobby, after all.
