N-scale small room layout - trains on the SHORTBUCK RAILROAD
It's summer 1954 eastern Pennsylvania anthracite country. Reading, Jersey Central, Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley, LNE and others all run in this industrial spaghetti bowl. Lower deck is dual track double-loop and a single track single loop. Upper deck goes back a few years and is all steam on a single loop, with a connection to the Lehigh Valley. All in an enclosed 9' x 12' room complete with HVAC. Decks connect by a single loop around-the-room 'helix'. Duck-under entry, the trains run around the operator, and are often out of sight behind strategic view blocks. Multiple ambient sound systems. Yep, still all DC block wired!

It's summer 1954 eastern Pennsylvania anthracite country. SHORTBUCK RAILROAD's home brew Malley-boilered 2-10-4 works some bridge revenue onto the Lehigh Valley tracks. SHORTBUCK's steam style favors oxide cab roofs, numbers up by the windows, white faces, and tender doghouses.

    you sure have a great layout ! you also are running trains in n scale in the great surroundings of pennsylvania, although i run Erie Lackawanna in the 1960s and 1970s. The layout reminds me a bit of The Cumberland Valley System of Bill and Wayne Reid. With great color and details. I really love that nice background.

      Never did a track plan. It is a double track, double loop 'main' and another single loop on bottom, one loop on upper. I do have an operation scheme, but I'm a runner. I prefer to sit back and watch and listen to four trains.

      It's a short run pusher. Inspired by the Erie's 2-10-2s with Vandy tenders. Reading also ran short tenders behind their Mallet pushers. Shortbuck is a short-line regional RR, runs a motley mix cast-off steamers from the Class 1 Anthracite lines.
