Module Description
My first module and is very busy! I had to move the spur to the rear of the module because most of the activity would have been blocked by the elevators. This module has working crossing gates, lighted building logo with painters, parking lot lights, hay field with round bales, kids on dirt bikes, small old cemetery, windmill, horses, pasture, tractor and truck scale, corn unloading & loading crews, farmers, and emplyess with flat tire.

Module Description
The New York Susquehanna & Western (NYS&W) had several maintenance shops across its operations and this one is loosely bashed on my brief memory seeing it while locating underground telephone cables near it in 1985. I built it because my father-in-law loves turntables and the club didn't have a locomotive maintenance facility in T-TRAK. Using the Kato turntable was a real space challenge, but I did it.

Module Description
I decided to build this module because several club members run Amtrak or other passenger trains all the time, but the club did not have a main passenger station at the time. As well as Gorman Suburban Station there is also Gracn Central Station; two passenger stations
