Santa Fe GP9u 2244 switches the piggyback facility on Stephen M. Priest’s St. Louis Division layout. This layout and many other fine examples of modeling will be on tour during the convention.
This clinic takes a somewhat non-traditional look at designing a model railroad. Borrowing some concepts from a graduate-level class in Systems Engineering Architecture, the author shows how using a top-down approach to a model railroad design might very well save you some effort and expense by identifying and solving system-level design issues before you begin construction. Think of it as a more formal “needs and druthers” view of model railroad design. This clinic is meant to be an interactive, and hopefully lively discussion.
