The Kayton Shortline was a $500 Railroad published in MRH #54. Even before it was published the layout had been expanded to the Kayton and Tecoma Rly, a point to point two person switching layout. The layout has a total length of 15' end to end and a 'mainline' of three inches between yard limits! Most operating sessions have two operators using a two position car card system. An operating session takes between 90 and 120 minutes to complete..

All very simple and yet last night I hosted the 100th operating session on the layout and was very proud to have my newly married daughter as the Tecoma Yard Master.
