Abstract

This article discusses the HO scale Canada, Spokane & Pacific model railroad layout created by Drew James. The layout is set in the Pacific Northwest and represents a bridge line connecting the Burlington Northern and Canadian Pacific Railway. It features a single-track main line, towns, industries, and realistic scenery. Advanced features such as Digital Command Control, signaling, and a fully operational Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) machine are incorporated. The layout includes realistic rolling stock, dispatching systems, and operating sessions. Drew plans to continue improving and expanding the layout in the future. The article also mentions Drew's custom-built replica Union Switch & Signal Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) machine and the Northwest Limited streamliner model train. [Extracted from the article]
