Paul has designed and built a portable layout that comes apart into two shelves\u00a0for mobility.\u00a0The 2 shelves are HO gauge and are 54″ X 12″ each. They can be joined by one of two\u00a0bridges (short or long). The longest bridge is 27″ and can double\u00a0as a fiddle stick. to run either shelf separately.<\/p>\n

The layout\u00a0era is set to\u00a0approx 1906. Paul uses\u00a0two Shay locomotives for slow and easy operation. The layout is strictly for switching. Paul claims there is a lot more detail to be added but it looks like he has a great start.<\/p>\n
