Twenty years ago this month, a group of five people began building a large portable layout to give people a chance to try out timetable-and-train order operation, who might not otherwise have the opportunity. Fifteen years ago, the Operation Road Show's Wabash layout debuted at the 2003 NMRA National Convention in Toronto. Since that time, the layout has traveled to six national Conventions, and been a participant, from its home base, in the nearby 2007 Convention in Detroit.

Here a short clip of my paper mill layout, it’s a 10ft x 8ft U shaped switching layout. 

The paper mill comprises of three tracks and two turnouts, which the branch comprises of three track, two on the branch itself and one that leads to the paper mill. There is also a tiny MOW siding which normally houses the railroad’s crane.

I’ve cherry picked ideas for Dunn Papers at Port Huron, MI and International Papers in Biglerville, PA allowing me to have a number of different that’s of cargo arrive and depart from the mill
