Morris – Tim’s HO layout is in a room 47 x 15 feet. He has approximately 140 feet of mainline track and his structures are beautiful. His layout is 99% complete and the time frame is the late 1960’s. Tim controls his layout by walk around DC. He will have trains running on a layout designed for both operation and just running trains. Enter the layout room by following a path on the south side of the yard and go through an open gate and down the outside stairs to the welcome area on the basement level.
Stringham – The L&M Railroad has been in operation for ten years and was constructed around two sides of the patio to maximize viewing and operation. The center feature of the railroad is a pond - less waterfall and stream. There is 350 ft. of track in a double track figure 8 using a curved trestle to cross over. There are two crossovers connecting the double tracks and a reversing track that connects the two outer loops. Trains are stored in a basement room on a track that passes through a window to a connecting spur. The garden has a number of different flowers, shrubs, trees and ground covers. This gives an ever changing landscape throughout growing season. There is a small track side village where commuters grab a snack and wait for the next express to the city. Trains are battery powered and controlled by a 2.4 GHz R/C throttle. (Revolution by Precision RC Electronics Inc.)

He has around 300 feet of double mainline track. This part of the layout is about 80% done and James's has done some outstanding hand carved mountain work which you must see. The backdrop scenery paintings by Rob Spangler are spectacular. In May of 2013 James started construction of the second phase of his layout which is the SLC area with a lot of industrial sidings. This area is about the same size as his first phase. James has also added a lot of scenery and buildings to the town of Green River. Control is Digitrax DCC.
