Southern Railroad (SOU) Modelers 5 months agoEastern Murphy Branch
This layout plan is currently just a draft of the Murphy branch from the yard/roundhouse in Asheville, NC to the town of Sylva. It is a two level layout that is “unstacked” but the layers are placed directly against eachother to save space. It will be built modularly and likely with handlaid track on everythign but the helix.
