    Compare to this prototype picture of the CN waiting on the siding. Very good weathering, Steve! I didn't know that CN/CP had engines that looked so rugged or Espee-like.

    Thanks Mike and Wolfgang-- I am not the builder of either of the 2 modules in those photos, although those were my trains in the bridge picture and the intermodal passing to the rear of the auto ramp.

    Wolfgang, you can try this link for a general dispatchers diagram of the layout:

    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fecrs_N/message/1471

    FEC N trak is a modular group (actually it is a one-trak group) with about 200' of mainline with balloon ends to turn trains around representing Bowden yard in Jacksonville, Florida, and Hialeah yard in Hialeah, Florida. We run an actual FEC schedule on a fast clock using a dispatcher connected by radio, so it is very much an operations oriented group.

    I built modules of the FEC intermodal yard at Ft. Lauderdale, seen here:

    and the Medley rock pit seen here:

    my first H0 engine...
    Hi, after several models painted and detailed in N scale I thought why not do something in H0 for once and I did like it, it is much better for my eyes...
