My "Southern Rwy & Graham County RR" layout

[Waldbahner]

Hello,

good to read some comments =)

The Graham County Railroad is a very cool railroad for Shay lovers, freight train operaters and short line railroaders. There was a good article with many details and some track plans in the book "more railroads you can model". I got mine from amazon a while back.

The elevation maybe no problem. the SOU-trackage will run on 0 level only. There are no grades planed. The bis U-turn modul will feature a 4% grade. This works good with my Shay and 3 freight cars plus caboose. So the Robbinsville and Milltown area will be on +6cm from the SOU level. Substracting 10mm base board and 10mm more for stiwch mechanisms and wiring there are still 4cm space. That's enough to allow the SOU trains to pass under it.

Well, I was also curiously how the layout may look... So I started with the Topton module yesterday. Here is photo of the module so far. Meanwhile I started with the switch mechanisms.
