Online extra from Model Railroad Planning 2015

Originally published in Great Model Railroads 2007, this article by Bill Darnaby follows a way freight as it works its way eastbound on Bill’s HO scale Maumee Route. You’ll find a track plan and description of the operation of each town along train No. 20’s route.

I have read the original article multiple times and find it very interesting both in operation and in the layout itself. Judging from other articles I have read about the Maumee it is really a great layout. Would Mr. Darnaby be agreeable to do an online layout tour similar to what Tony Keoster did recently? Also, I think a train order system would be very fun to operate.

A great model simulation of what steam railroading was like back in the early 50's ! One really gets the feel of "workin' on the railroad" .
