COMPONENTS

Custom Layout Table

The layout sits on a custom 8' x 6' modular table, that can be easily disassembled and moved. The table top is in 4' x 2' plywood sections, so that it can be moved by one person. The whole system can be disassembled and transported in a minivan, without even removing the seats.

Track And Turnouts

The track and turnouts are manufactured by PIKO, in Germany. Turnouts are actuated by PIKO's waterproof Electric Switch Machines. All curves in the track layout are PIKO's R1, 2 foot radius. Currently there are two turnouts or switches in the layout.

FWRR Train

The FWRR train consists of the large scale electric Fort Wilderness Railroad engine and three FWRR passenger coaches, by Accucraft, that were sold by the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society.

Tipping Car Train

The tipping car train is made up of a modified Hartland Locomotive Works (HLW) Mack engine, and several HLW tipping ore cars. Weights had to be placed in the hoppers to get them to return to the center position after being tipped.
