Washago layout in S scale

At long last, after almost a year away from the hobby, I have resumed the joyful activity of model construction. To that end, I have designed an S scale modular layout based upon the CNR at Washago, Ontario (see Steam at Allandale and Steam in Northern Ontario). Working from the railway property plan, I have shortened sidings and reduced turnout numbers to decrease the scope of the track. All buildings and bridges (three, no less!) maintain their full size and proper orientation with respect to the tracks. I have begun construction with section 4, employing Fast Tracks handlaid track fixtures and jigs, and Homabed for the roadbed. Hopefully sometime in the next few months you will be able to see this depiction of Washago in S scale at one of the setups for our S Scale Workshop group.
