Jack Hedge, a lifelong O gauge enthusiast and talented layout builder, created the fictitious city of Hedgerton for his three-rail display. His layout features four loops and includes contemporary steamers and diesels from just about everybody, including Atlas O, K-Line, Lionel, Right-of-Way Industries, 3rd Rail, Weaver, and Williams.

Jack outlines what he installed, beginning with Lionel’s TrainMaster Command Control, using a Track Power Controller (TPC 300) to control each of the four loops. He ran the subway and SuperStreets lines in a more traditional manner, depending on conventional control handled by a transformer. Looking ahead, Jack has plans to convert all the TrainMaster Command Control to Legacy. And he hopes to wire the third and fourth loops for DCS.
