Hi All:
Today the Tour Car traveled south to Gary Randall's Columbia Division of the Union Pacific Railroad. Gary has a multi-level layout with a main yard, a coaling industry, container port, the City of Pendleton and some assorted businesses. The layout is Digitrax DCC and has code 55 track. Before the Tour Car went on on the line, I took some pictures of Gary's layout for you to see. It is still in progress, the container ship for his port is on the way, and I am sure he is continueing to upgrade with signals and controls.

Plenty of coal is needed for his power plant.
