Construction began in early 2012. The layout is HO gauge for the most part (there is a stretch of
HOn3 narrow gauge) occupying a 12' by 18' area with 30" perimeter/central yard benchwork..
The layout is not based on a prototype, it is simply a way to house and operate a collection of
western railroad equipment as a Railroad Museum located in the fictitious towns of Snowy River and Cascade.
The area modeled is roughly a mid-century jumble of northern and
southern California. The track-work is completely wired for "DCC" operation with one of the two mainlines
switchable to "DC" to operate older equipment not yet upgraded.
