Three all-new layout stories show a variety of approaches, original ideas, and accessory action you’ve never seen before.
Karl Andrews, a retired electrical engineer, leads off with a multi-level O gauge layout. Karl created many custom-built animations and operating accessories, including an impressive coal station that receives and transfers coal. Between the custom rotary dumper to the auger pipe bringing coal to a building, there’s action everywhere.
Larry Poland started in postwar, then prewar, then, finally, his true and lasting love – Standard gauge. His dream layout includes four trains controlled by MTH’s DCS, original accessories, an Army Camp with WW1 toy lead soldiers, a carnival, and a yard featuring a Dorfan crane. Original accessories include a 444 Roundhouse Section, 114 Double Station, 129 Terrace Platform, and 840 Power Station.
John Coy, his wife Connie, and their friends built Glacier Line, a point-to-point O gauge homage to the great state of Montana and the spectacular Glacier National Park. Great Northern locomotives head freight and passenger cars through towns, tunnels, and over a 400 scale foot-long bridge. The backdrops include mountainous regions which capture Montana’s natural beauty. If you can’t make it to Montana, this might just be the next best thing.
