Steven Huether - is showing his layout for the first time. The Mile High Railways, bridge line made up of several short lines. T&T - Timber & Tidewater, B.I.G - Big Injun & Gulf, and the B&B - Belleville & Bear Creek. Also leases trackage rights to the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and others on special occasions. The layout is basically a twisted dog bone with 18" radius curves, #6 switches, 3% grades and a hidden staging yard. It's built in a 9' x 11' bedroom (small), a small Western Town, Small yard with turn table, large mountain area with spectacular cliffs, pier with an operating light house and some small industries with sidings. Track work is operable and Steve uses DCC by MRC for locomotive control. Scenery and buildings are in varying degrees of completion. Recently a mountain built with Bragdon's GeoDesic Foam highlights the railroad. Steve knows his layouts limitations and runs equipment appropriate to the sizing compression.
