Sz layouts in this year’s issue of GREaT MODEL Raitoans do an excel- Ient job of capturing the mood and feeling of an era and place. Bill Henderson's Coal Belt has long been one of my favorites in this regard. Looking at the photos through a hazy smog (long before pollution standards, you know) its easy to get a sense that his is a hard-working railroad in the ‘midale of coal and steel country in the early 20th century. Two other excellent ‘examples are John Proebsting’ Soo Line, which nails the look and feel of the Midwest in the late 1940s, and Ron Kuykendall’ Sud Pacifico con Otros, which captures the flavor of California's San Joaquin Valley in the ‘50s. 1k craftsmanship is your interest, then see the story on Karl Winkler’s O scale layout.

I wanted to capture the nostalgia, so I began collecting photos, maps, track charts, and timetables to refresh my memory of how things were. That proved to be the beginning of a year of planning for my HO layout ~ time well spent in the interest of avoiding rebuilding time later. I model the Soo Line from Neenah to Stevens Point, Wis., about 63 miles of the line between Chicago and the Twin Cities. Both towns had a yard and engine facilities. Industries in the area and time I'm modeling included team tracks, freight houses, pickle plants, stockyards, feed mills, potato warehouses, sand and gravel pits, cheese factories, oil depots, coal sheds, alumber- yard, a foundry, a brewery, and an interchange with the Green Bay & Western, Planning Photography was a major consideration in planning, This ruled out multiple levels, as realis- tic lighting would be difficult and low-level pho- tography (because of the overhanging deck) impossible. Wide-radius curves were a priority, even though this meant a shorter main line. [also wanted to make it easy for guest engi neers to operate. Operators are always facing north when facing a wall. The Soo built its tele- graph lines and depots on the north (far side) of the tracks, so most depot scenes can be easily viewed from trackside. In designing the track plan I sized town maps and track diagrams to %" scale, cut them out, and rearranged them on graph paper.

Most curves (on the main line represent specific curves on the prototype, along with most of the cuts and fill. Since the real yard at Neenah was built on a curve, I put it in a comer, but with curves broad enough to not interfere with coupling. The old yard at Stevens Point is built almost to full scale ‘on a peninsula down the center of the room. The CTC (Centralized Traffic Control) dispatcher's board fits conveniently under the stairway. ‘The Highway 41 overpass near Neenah hides the fact that the table here narrows to 12". The bridge, running directly into an outside corner of the room, helps separate Neenah from Dale. The real track through Dale is straight, but the proto- type didn’t have (o avoid basement walls! A single staging yard serves both ends of the layout. All tains turn around a balloon loop and. stop facing the same way, ready to head outeither direction around the layout as needed. The 41" minimum radius and 2 percent maximum grade ‘on the helix handle long trains with ease. Construction Once the track plan looked good on paper, I drew it full size on the floor. This provided a glimpse at what the final layout would look like. ‘The plan was a bit overwhelming at first, and it wasnt until I drilled the first hole into the con- ccrete wall that I was really sure I wanted to take ‘on such a project.

When operating an era prior to controls on the CTC panel are all turned off, relin- quishing turnout operation to local control switches around the layout. Final thoughts For years I enjoyed the idea of modeling a par- ticular locomotive, car, or structure. Now I'm hav: ing even more fun modeling a particular time and place. I really enjoy collecting photos and infor- mation, then re-creating an entire scene or town. But, best ofall, 1am enjoying building a layout with some of the best modelers I've ever known, We hope to be able to share some our ideas with other modelers in the future.

Tn the end, the narrow room width forced me to settle on the twice-around oval.

I painted everything in the room ~ fascias, every- thing below them, and everything above the sky backdrop - black.

I spent my childhood in Albuquerque, where to see a double-headed heavyweight pas- senger train start out from the station north toward Glorieta Pass was unforgettable, as was the June day in 1937, when from a vantage point 15 miles north of town, I watched the maiden run of the fully streamlined Super Chief as it streaked toward Albuquerque at full speed, Such me e layout featuring two railroads: a short line called the Zuni Mountain RR and the mighty Santa Fe with which it connects. ‘ries inspired our N sca History and concept ‘The real Zuni Mountain RR served logging operations in northwest New Mexico off and ot from 1890 until 1940, Originally narrow gauge, it connected with the Atlantic & Pacific, later to become the Santa Fe. A lumber mill stood at the connection, which became the town of Mitchell, now called Thoreau. In 1901 the Zuni Mountain \s converted to standard gauge. As areas ‘were logged out, the connection with the Santa Fe was moved farther east to Grants. We've made no attempt to depict the ZMRR as. it really was, but used it as inspiration for a litle road that serves an oilfield and several mines. The ‘emphasis is on trains running through scenery. After all, New Mexico has some of the most beau- tiful scenery anywhere. Northwest New Mexico is. land of contrasts.

The Santa Fe is a dogbone with, four scale miles of track. Partially hiding the return loops in tunnels yielded a quite realistic double-track mainline appearance. The Zuni ‘Mountain RR runs loop-to-loop the length of the layout and is also a scale four miles long. The L-girder benchwork supports &" plywood extensively cookie-cut to provide transitional lev- els of bluffs in the plains areas and steeper slopes in the Zuni Mountains. Thave used Structolite (with the larger parti- cles screened out) spread on screenwire to simu- late hills and to connect layers of bluffs Structolite is a plaster with vermiculite filler to lessen the weight.) Higher mountains are built of stacked sheet Styrofoam. To paint the scenery we used flat interior house paints extensively, mixing them to get the desired colors. Many of our rocks are the real thing, but painted to duplicate the colors in the area, Ground cover is Woodland Scenics ground foam and sifted rock applied to wet paint. Backdrops that add distance After painting the walls with a coat of light blue house paint, whitened toward the horizon, we added background hills, plateaus, trees, shrubs, and clouds using artist's acrylic. My son, Armand, now an artist and educator with the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University, has been coming from New Haven about twice a year to paint backgrounds and offer artistic advice. painting captures New Mexico's spectacu- lar skies and dramatic storm clouds and suggests the endless vistas characteristic of the area. If we had realized how extensive and detailed the back- drop painting would become weld have built backdrops rather than painting on the walls.

We plan a part of Zuni to be called Old Town with an Old West atmosphere, structures from the tur of the century, and a Spanish-style ranch house near the cattle loading area. That is enough, to think about for now, New Mexico and the railroads I want to express my appreciation to David A. Myrick, railroad historian of the Southwest. He provided much of the inspiration and virtually all of the history of the Zuni Mountain RR that formed a basis for this layout and story. Railroads, especially the Santa Fe, were and still are a very important part of New Mexican his- tory. Thousands of Santa Fe riders on their way to California stopped off to visit Carlsbad Caverns and Indian villages, and the Santa Fe provided special stopovers and buses to enable passengers to spend time visiting, Extra time was allowed in Albuquerque, even on the fastest schedules, to allow passengers to stroll in the Indian shops. ‘The Santa Fe helped bring New Mexico into the 20th century and helped Americans in gen- ‘ral to appreciate that New Mexico, different in so ‘many ways, is a part of the United States. We have tried to convey a little of New Mex- ico’ culture as well as its scenic beauty on our lay- ‘out after all, model railroading can take us (0 enchanted lands and goes far beyond checking the dimensions of bolt heads.

Real trains, toys trains, it didn't seem to matter to me. The more I saw, the more I wanted. My parents always told me that I could say “trains” before I could say “Dad” and “Mom.

I started out, like most I suppose, with a4 x & sheet of plywood and a figure eight track plan, but rapidly outgrew it. I expanded it to 16x 16 feet before Mom cut off further expansion. (She just didn't understand me wanting to take over the laundry area in the basement.) My dad helped a lot with supplies, tools, and ‘wood to build benchwork. Like many before me | lost interest in trains during my high school years, and the layout was dismantled in favor of a After high school I attended a tech school for broadcasting which led to a job and a small base- ment apartment in Dickinson, N. D. With a new wife and the apartment, I found little time for ‘model trains. After a move back to Minnesota in 1982, we bought a condominium that just hap- pened to have a storage room for rent. Layout ‘number three began in that room soon afterward, but after having been away from the hobby for years my skills needed a lot of sharpening. After four or so years, that layout was disman- ted. I then joined a local St. Cloud, Minn., model railroad club where I discovered that I really ‘enjoyed scenery. I also met some wonderful peo- ple with whom I am friends to this day. In January 1992, | decided to build the layout | ‘was visualizing in my head, based on a track plan Thad seen many years ago. With the help of a good friend, Jack Weber, I once more began build ing benchwork in the storage room. For the first time in my life I felt I had the skills to build a first- class layout. Influential modelers One criterion for the new layout was having unique structures that could be developed from readily available kits or else scratchbuilt, One of Above: Bailey's Produce isan excellent example of the authors structure building talents, Seth constructed and detailed the Fine Scale Miniatures it roving several mi scenes to attract our attention.

He produces a line of craftsman wood structure kits; I've built several and incorporated them into the layout T've enjoyed designing some structures for the layout as well. Cosby's Filling Station and Louie's Diner are two such buildings. I have to admit that the inspiration for them is from George Sellios (of Franklin & South Manchester fame). Another friend, Art VanDeWater, has also been influential Art has built several beautiful structures for his. layout and has inspired me to make mine better. I've also picked up many tips from my other heroes in the hobby like Earl Smallshaw and Mike Tylick. I got an opportunity in May 2000 to visit George, Earl, and Mike and to see their layouts. They all model the way Laspire to. | enjoy the way most model railroaders are willing to share what they've learned.

I'll probably build something very similar to the “old” Puffer Bridge Lines, but I'm not committed to any one idea. We'll see what happens.
