Looking for Project Layout series from the past
Posted by A.Weis on Monday, September 10, 2012 8:59 PM

I am looking for a project layout from the past, probably mid-to-late 90's (?).  It was O-Scale and was a shelf type switching layout set in New England and had a Geep for motive power.  I want to remember the name being something Fitchburg.  I have the 75th Anniversary DVD and 30 years of back issues and have searched unsuccessfully.

Can anyone remember the project layout I'm thinking of?

Gidday, Welcome to the forum.

I think the article you're looking for is "Pioneer Valley RR" by Michael Tylick starting in the September !994 Model Railroader, page 60, continuing Oct 94 page 74;  Nov 94 page 84;  and Dec 94 page 130.

The "Fitchburg & Southbridge RR was an early HO shelf layout by Michael Tylick, Sept. 1985 Model Railroader.

Cheers, the Bear.

That's it!  I guess it was the Tylick connection that made me think Fitchburg.

Thanks!
