The HO scale layout occupies a 24' x 28' room with a large return loop and a double-ended staging yard in a separate room. The theme of the layout is "early Conrail" in a fictitious setting representing western Pennsylvania. The layout features a double track mainline with branches and industrial switching areas and is designed for both point-to-point operations and continuous running. Control is via a North Coast Engineering Digital Command Control system. The layout is filled with dozens of fully detailed and beautifully painted locomotives and cars.
