Selma District. Main level. Contains main yard and engine facilities. Several Industries and the junction of Burnsville, where the Browns/Prattville subs and the Jones/Maplesville subs all rejoin the main line. All these plans were drawn using XtrkCad, a free download from Sillub Software. This...

Prattville sub. This is at the same level as the Browns sub. But again drawn separately for clarity. This too is hidden trackage

This is Maplesville, the end of the branch. Its drawn separately strictly for clarity, as some of Maplesville sits over the town of Jones.

This is Browns Sub and along with the Prattville sub are the lowest levels. They represent west and south, (Browns) and north and east (Prattville) from Selma. The dashed lines here indicate the track will be hidden.

This is an example of what can be done with a cheap train set car and a little work. This car started life as a Tyco train set UP gon. It was yellow plastic and had all the UP markings in red. First I stripped the red paint off the car and then removed most of the cast on detail, like grabs...

MILW composite drop bottom Gondola. Ambroid kit. Built per instructions except I added full brake detail.

SRR F-7 4258 Bowser/Stewart. Newest loco I own. Was given to me as payment for some photos. Currently is awaiting detailing, as well as some light weathering.

GM&O FA-2 P2K, first run. When acquired there were no FA-1's, which GM&O actually had, that were on the market at the time. So I made do with an FA-2 instead. Interesting note here. This loco was painted with actual GM&O Maroon lacquer. A friend in Mobile, Al had rented a small shed...

GM&O Rs-1. Atlas/Kato. Very smooth mech. Normally I don't model diesels, but since the GM&O was "completely" dieselized in 1947,and I'm modeling 1949, I thought it appropriate to include a few of the "infernal com-bustin" engines. This and its "mate" run the...

SRR #949 F1 class 4-6-0. This loco has special meaning for me as my Dad was assigned to this loco in 1935. According to "most" of the authorities, SRR never painted their cab roofs red. It actually depended on 2 things. Shop practice and engineer senority/wants. This loco did have a...

SRR #701, Ks class 2-8-0. Imported by Overland as one of their first steam imports. Midsize 2-8-0 on system that had 2-8-0 classes of 1880 vintage all the way to the Ks-3 2-8-0's of mid to late 20's, the largest on the system. This included the G, H, I, J, & K classes, with G's being...

SRR #5200 Ss 2-10-2 USRA light. The 5200 class "santa fe's" on the SRR were the first engine of this type on the property. They were the largest non-articulateds on the road. It was discovered that the wheelbase for this class was too long for some of the curves in their assigned...

Westside Import Ma & Pa 0-6-0. Good little loco, remotored with larger Sagami and more weight added to boiler and chassis. Awaiting a decoder. Painted for ACRR #30.

SRR Ss-1 class USRA light 2-10-2. Regeared when accquired in 1980, using NWSL gears. Motor is Maxxon "Coreless". One of the smoothest runners I own. It can lug over 50- 40' hoppers up a 1% grade and not even break a sweat. Key import.

SRR #1396, Ps-4 heavy pacific. Accquired 1974, remotored, and regeared at that time. Painted using Westwoods "book" copy of the erction drawings, many pictures, both B&W as well as color. PFM import

This is a little Spectrum 4-6-0 that was given to me by an old employer a couple of years ago for Christmas. He even was kind enough to include a decoder! So far except to add a little weathering later on, this is the only non-brass steamer that I don't feel the need to either redetail, regear...

This is an Oriental Limited Y-3 2-8-8-2. While not really a brass engine as the boiler is diecast the mech is brass I believe. This was part of the old "Powerhouse" series from them. It is waiting on some serious redetailing.

This is an MDC Hariiman 4-6-0, that was remotored & redetailed. Some of the changes include, Varney cylinders, scratchbuilt valve gear, brass wire of various sizes for piping, Cal Scale, Cary, & Kemtron brass parts. Motor was replaced with a Sagami and gears were a 72-1 set from NWSL.

SRR caboose X3239 is just coming out of the shops after a major rebuild. Its 1941 and many of its brethren are being replaced by the new steel bay windows. This rebuild should allow this wooden caboose to remain on the property longer than most. Funaro & Camerlengo kit.
