Associated Model Railroads of Columbia

, a coal loading operation on one side of the river and a power station on the other side. The rocky cliffs overlooking the river provide a good example of creating realistic rocks and rock faces on a model layout. It is controlled by a Digitrax DCC system allowing use of Digitrax throttles or WiFi control via app. HO Scale- ​Our 12’ x 50’ HO layout, has been very much under construction, but is looking very good now. It will provide a pike for both public running and realistic railroad operations. It will include the typical point to point operations, where trains can be built taken to distant cities and broken down to be delivered to customers. The nearly complete logging operation features a 3’ scratch built trestle and will soon include a working log mill. During shows and on running nights, we can up to 8 trains at once for a very busy scene. We also have the ability to run analog on this layout, so DCC isn’t a requirement. O and S Scale- Our 10’ X 18’ O,S scale plus the 3’ x 15’ yard is always a highlight allowing as many as 5 trains zipping by at once. It includes some of Lionel’s operating accessories, which can be run by visitors from buttons beside the layout. The kit built 4’ through girder bridge and some interesting graffiti provide some of the highlights. The layout is controlled conventionally or by Lionel’s Legacy/TMCC control system if your engine is equipped. G scale is a suspended layout, controlled conventionally, with over 100’ of track!
