basement of Townsend Hall. The theme of the layout is the Midwest, and the era
can vary from the 50s to the present time. At present, all motive power is
diesel, with everything from 1st generation GPs and Alco RS-1s to modern
AC4400CWs. Roadnames reflect the member's own preferences, the most popular
being Illinois Central, Canadian Pacific, Gulf, Mobile and Ohio, Milwaukee, and
Western Maryland.
