Track Plan Alexander Traction Company - S scale 42" gauge DC using HO code 83 track
Plan drawn in XTRAKcad with PECO #5 and #6 turouts but will be built with with Walthers #4 and #6. I have laid out plan with paper templates on benchwork to confirm Walthers turnouts will work.
All structures will be card models
All equipment will be modified CLEVER critters card models. Locos and Interurbans on Bachmann mechanisms
Non operating ovehead wire but am thinking I might model 3rd rail instead in yard and on mainline to Mooresville
I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.
Here is the Clever Models website:

Interesting stuff.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
That sounds like a fun project!
I wish I would have known about Clever Models when I was making all my photo-diorama photographs.

Living the dream.
Have you seen the fabulous traction layout that is always on display at Trainfest? I think he has used a lot of cardstock models too. Mabe someone else knows the name of it. It shows how much you can do in a very narrow space.

If you click the link to the website, there is a video of a Trainfest layout.

The gentleman's name is John Kosma and all of the structures on the layout are cardstock. It's quite impressive.
