The modelled portion of the line will run from Waynesville, NC to Sylva, NC and will include the Balsam Grade. The selected era is 1945-1953, and will feature steam and streamlined diesels.

Amazon is an amazing place to get plaster cloth in all shapes and sizes. I elected to use 4” strips of plaster bandage for the ease of shaping. I have plenty more to do to hide the cardboard weave underneath the plaster cloth. After scenery is roughed in with plaster I will start to get serious…

This will reach from Asheville yard and Roundhouse to the top of the Balsam Grade. There is nearly 40 feet of benchwork on the top deck and an equal amount that will go on the bottom.

These panels will form the benchwork for Waynesville and Balsam. The total length of the layout is 20ft. These panels are light enough that I can maneuver them by myself even at 4’x18”.

The layout is now a “nolix”. There is a 4.3% grade around the turnback, which while steep, will provide plenty of operational challenges, including doubling the hill. The actual grade on this section of line was near 5%.

I have plans to build a pretty extensive layout spanning from Asheville, NC to Sylva, NC on the Southern’s Murphy Branch. I have all the rail laid and powered up in my condensed version of the Asheville Roundhouse near Murphy Junction.

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.
