Hi All,

Below is the link to my Seaboard Central 2017 Layout Tour video. I have managed to do a lot of model railroading this past year and 2018 looks pretty exciting. Thanks for watching!

Operating on Tom Klimoski's Georgia Northeastern

Sat, 2017-07-15 06:55 — TimGarland

Last month I had an opportunity to operate once again on Tom Klimoski's beautiful Georgia Norhteastern Layout. His layout is based on the Georgia Northearn Shortline which runs between a CSX connection north of Marietta, GA to Ellijay, GA in the Northeast GA mountains. Tom's layout is a shelf style switching layout that fits in a room the size of a typical spare bedroom. It can easily keep two to four operators busy for a couple of hours. Here is a link to the session followed by the track plan of the layout.

Seaboard Central Layout Update May 2017

Just uploaded my May Layout update. In this update you'll see run by action, a Laser Art build featuring a new structure of a Victorian Mansion complete with flower garden and some prototype operation info about moving in and out of shops and industries.

Hope you will check out my Layout and how I take what I see and do working on the Prototype and simulate it in 1/87 scale.

Operating HO Scale Ballast Hopper

Sat, 2017-05-20 16:48 — TimGarland

One of my more popular videos on my Seaboard Central YouTube channel is my Feb 2016 Layout Update featuring working ballast hoppers to distribute ballast on my layout. For those of you old enough to have owned original Athearn Blue Box kits you might have had some of their four bay offset hoppers with plastic bottom gates that could be positioned open. I still have two that I relettered for my Seaboard Central.
