Looking North at Bobston station. This is the East terminal for the North River and the receiving area for Timberly, the logging camp

 

 

Another scratch-built model. Bossert’s Beef and Bologna is based on an actual meat packing plant in Jacksonville, IL. About 67 out of 74 holding pens were omitted but the main buildings are fairly close to a true representation.

  

     

 

 

Railcam view across mainline through double-slip switch towards Lee Interchange and points west (and the connection to the outside world). 

 

 

 

RailCam view East across main line through double-slip switch towards repair shops at Harrietta in distance.

 

 

Lumber is brought to the Sawmill at Timberly buy a flume and overhead gantries (yet to be constructed). This is a straight kit

Bachelor pad at night. This exterior of this prize-winning model was built from scratch to plans from the Model Railroader magazine but the completely detailed interior was freelanced.

 

Brian’s Stake House is the local supplier of Surveyor’s stakes.  Brian also lays out the track for some of the local 12” scale roads in the area.

 

 

 

 

 

Number 8, a class 3 shay on the way to Timberly for another load of lumber
