N scale MRL train layout update by Todd VonStup #train #nscale #modelrailroad #bnsf #benchwork

Todd VonStup gives a two-year progress update on his emerging N scale layout. He discusses benchwork, track, signals and rolling stock in this fast-paced Zoom recording. He has made a lot of progress on this layout in the last two years. To see his presentation from 2022, here is the link: https://youtu.be/xgWORCLDxBw

The Montana Rail Link's Columbia and Palouse 14th and 15th Subdivisions is an N-Scale multi-deck loop to loop proto-freelanced layout from Connell, WA to Missoula, MT with a division yard in Moscow, ID. Mostly prototypically modeled from the Palouse River in Hooper, WA across the Palouse to Troy, ID, where it's then freelanced as if the NP had found its pass over the Bitterroot Mountains into Missoula, MT. Started in May 2021, this presentation is a progress update on benchwork (95% done!), working ABS signals, a large yard, and operations as the MRL would have worked this line based on their practices.

This layout tour presentation and discussion took place at the monthly Zoom "Second Saturday" meeting of the Fourth Division of the Pacific Northwest Region (https://4DPNR.com) of the National Model Railroad Association (https://NMRA.org), on April 13, 2024. The meeting was chaired by Burr Stewart and Lee Marsh. The recording was edited by Burr Stewart.
