THE GREAT NORTHERN TWIN CITIES RAILWAY 2014 HO

Owner Lee Hehl is the creator of the marvel of model railroad operations.  This great layout is one to follow for building a layout for operations.  Peco switches and code 100 track, none of it is soldered together, and little is ballasted.  Their are only powered switches in staging and everything is in easy reach. Enjoy. Open post for Pt 2
