MODERN HO LAYOUT

The layout built in a 1200 sq. ft. room is based on Union Pacific lines with BNSF trackage rights located in south-central Texas. The main city of Waycross is fictional based on a mix between Hearne, TX and Pittsburg, TX. The towns of Livingston and LaGrange will resemble the prototypes as much as possible. More pictures and videos will be added or replaced as the work progresses. Waycross has a small yard, three small industries and an active diamond with one connector – Waycross Jct. – on the east-west Fort Worth Sub. The crossing lines are Austin Sub (ex. SP) south of the diamond and Longview Sub going north. The connector allows traffic from Austin Sub to the east leg of Fort Worth Sub. Leaving Waycross the line continues through the small town of Clifton and Coleman Transloading Facility which also has a passing siding, continues through the town of Livingston, across the Trinity River Bridge to Smithville Jct. from here the main line continues to Houston (not modeled) on Houston Sub. Freeport Sub (ex. MKT) which splits off the main is a branch line going through LaGrange with street running as the prototype. The line sees only a few locals and coal trains to and from a power plant. All the Subdivisions are CTC controlled except Freeport Sub which is TWC.
