I am designing a layout based upon the Meadow River Lumber Co. in Rainelle, WV bsed upon their 1950's logging operation. So this layout is a great source of inspiration.
I've been looking for this type of layout only I didn't expect it to be where I grew up!Looks fantastic I'm going to enjoy building this with my grandchildern.
