FEATURED LAYOUT

A Digitrax (DCC) tri-level layout with 250’ of mainline on two levels represents railroading from the early 1950s. This 85% sceniced, 25’ x 25’ layout is point-to-point with connecting staging for continuous running. There is also a branch line on the third level with two interchange points. Scenery is hard shell and Styrofoam. Operating sessions with 4 to 7 two man crews run between two and three hours using car cards. Engines on both lines are mainly GP7, GP9, and RS2, with a periodic use of steam when power is at a premium. Johnstown has two freight yards (east and west). There are seven stops on the mainline that provide a lot of switching opportunities. In addition to the main interchange, there are four interchanges with other club member roads. The JR&W provides service to the local power company, a brewery, cannery, paper manufacturer, and freight forwarder. Johnstown’s sister city, Roseville is serviced by the Dogwood & Southern. D&S customers include a coalmine, meat packer, sawmill, feed mill and a grain facility. The Johnstown Harbor spur services a fish cannery, cold storage facility, boat works and coal barge loading dock. A third level boasts a logging industry with its own railroad line that supplies logs for the sawmill.
