The engine is New Bright - Rio Grande 1986. Will run freight cars - box car, log car, tank car, caboose. I think it's a 2-6-2. No stations, spur or roundhouse are in phase 1 plans, but may be added down the road. As I mentioned this railroad is at a campground. We go there only a couple weekends a month (during good weather) and only a small amount of that time is spent working on the railroad. This is going to be a slow project. I do some things at home like building trestles, making buildings, working on people, etc. The layout is basd for the most part on things in the area and most of the buildings are 1:32 scale replicas of actual buildings nearby. Here's what I plan to have to start: An Amish farm - with house, barn, silo, windmill, various animals and people, Amish buggy on the road, hay wagon, etc.; A country church with country cemetery; an old grist mill with water flowing over a working wheel; a covered bridge; a one-room schoolhouse with outhouse; a campground with several style tents, a campfire (lighted at night), flag pole, outhouses, firewood stacked, lots of people and wildlife; a river with flowing water and canoers, kayakers, and other people in and around the river; an ice cream shop made from an old caboose; a gift/flower shop made from an old box car. With all this stuff plus plantings and a few fake trees to fill in until the real stuff grows up, I'm looking a several years to develope phase 1 .
