To All: I scratch built this HO scale PO Cabin interlocking tower for the First Coast Model Railroad Society's layout in Jacksonville, Florida. It controls entrance to/exit from the Port of Portlandia on the layout. I painted and weathered the structure. Photo by Elvin Howland. Yours, Elvin Howland/E. St. Louis Rail Group Layout.

Hi All,

I haven't posted an updated layout plan for awhile.  So seeing there have been some changes made to the Harrisburg Industrial Area, here is the current one with signal placement too.

Cheers,

Jas...

Here's kind of what I'm thinking about for a track plan. the single track on the right side of the layout is just there for reference at this point there will likely be crossings sidings etc. My thought is that side would go through some canyon with perhaps a river. Also I'm thinking of doing double main line with cross over tracks. 

I was asked to have my layout on the Open House for this weekend.  1st time ever for the public.  Was told this is a good crowed to start with as my layout is operations only aka lots of plywood.  I Took the bait.

Will see how it goes.  I model operations so the GS&M should be a good fit.  I would normally pass,  but some twisting from a another layout owner that operates and I do respect convinced that this group cares less about looks and more about function.
