Chesapeake Layout

My model train layout is an small N scale (1:160) layout. It is based on the "Carolina Central" as developed by Model Railroader magazine. For my purposes the track arrangement has been adapted to fit the shorter, but wider table top that I had. Also, the track plan was modified to use Bachmann E-Z Track®. The layout is composed of one main line, with three industrial spurs. Also, there is an interchange track. Hidden at the back of the layout is a two track staging yard.

Below is a collage of the railroad. To see a detail of the layout in more detail, click on the area of interest.

Jan. 2003

This picture shows the pond and railroad crossing scene on the left hand side of the layout. To the right of the pond is the lumber distributor and the start of town. To the left is a farm and the start of the rural areas.

This picture is a low angle shot looking across the pond to the country store (which was omitted from the previous photo.)

This picture is a low angle show of the area in front of the dam and under the railroad crossing. Look closely and you will see children playing in the water.

This picture shows the cut in the hill on the back right hand side of the layout. The cut provides access to the back of the layout where there are two delay tracks.

This picture shows second industry on the layout, the local Feed & Seed store. This is built from the Wathers Sunrise Feed Store kit.

July 2002

This picture shows the hill on the front of the layout. The hill covers the power and switch control panels.

April 2002

This picture shows and overview of the layout as completed in April 2002. Since then the hills on the back ground of the layout have been completed and the pond has been sculpted.

This picture is looking across the main line and the industrial spur to "Downtown".

This picture is wider angle showing all of what will be the town of Russellville.

This view is looking across the the mainline, to the principal industry in the area, the lumber distributor.
