Early Eighties Freelance Tri Level HO Scale Layout
Fully Digitrax DCC Controlled

This layout was started in Jan of 06.  Some of the structures were used on my last layout.   The SE now has  265ft of main line track with various sidings and spurs. The layout is built in and around my 28 x 30 basement.  The layout services a total of 19 industries /companies  by rail, along with 4 passenger stations. Trains run east, west, north and south.  The SE features 3 freight yards, one Norfolk Southern Loco motive maintenance yard, and one staging yard.
