2019 Update! The original 1982 central peninsula has been replaced with a new, larger peninsula. The peninsula is now complete with scenery, and the website is caught up to the new railroad. This has lengthened the railroad, reduced the ruling grade from 3% to 2% and provided a backdrop across the room providing visual separation for the Mayfield Yard operations.
2022 Update! Upon retirement from my "day job" (while still teaching college remotely) I have completed a few new projects. This includes a replica of the NYOW bridge over the Delaware River at Hancock NY, adding Simpson Coal, and reworking the two Cadosia and Carbondale sections that were originally constructed in 1987. These had been the oldest sections on the current layout. The website is now updated to this work.
