Mike Fyten's Kaw Valley Railroad is based on an old line that ran from Kansas City, KS to Lawrenece, KS. The line was not much more than about 50 miles of track. The original line was a traction line and was called the Kansas City, Kaw Valley and Western. Mike models steam and desiel, so it's not real a prototype layout. The layout is a point to point built for operations, meaning that it takes about 8 guys 3 hours to run the railroad. Mike holds operating sessions about every 6 weeks, using a timetable and train orders to run the layout. Kansas City is becoming one of the leaders in operating layouts. Needless to say that this is a scale layout. Mike uses Kaydee # 802s for coupling. |

Jerry Poniatowski's depot projects in the very early construction stages using Plexiglas®...Jerry used 1/4 inch thick plastic because that's a foot and a half in S scale. The real depot's walls are even thicker than that, and are made of Michigan limestone quarried a few miles from the town. It was built in 1886. There is also a 20 x 40 baggage building on one side and a 40 x 40 freight building on the other side. Jerry plans on carving the block pattern in the plastic with a Dremel, and painting each block individually. In real life, the walls have about 50 different colors of blocks, so that part will be the fun part. The roof will be made of Plastruct styrene and windows and doors too. The autos in the pic are 1:64 scale. The engine is an American Models F40PH Amtrak. |
