My Grafton & Upton HO Scale Model Railroad is a 12’ X 12’ layout in my unfinished basement

[rjosselyn1]

I started it in January of 2020 and it is the culmination of my 70 years in the hobby starting with a Lionel Scout in 1956. It is a folded dog bone design with upper and lower loops connected with a double crossover. It has two long passing sidings, a main and small staging yard, and two reversing sections providing good operating possibilities. It has a lot of features in a nominal space.

It is a stand alone island in the middle of the main basement space with ten removable 2’ X 4’ masonite backdrop panels with Trackside Scenery backdrop photos. This provides aisles all around the layout allowing me to work from inside and outside the layout. It has a mixture of craftsman kits, FSM and others, scratch built structures, and DPM kits.

It is about 70% done, with the main and staging yards yet to be developed.

My most recent video on my You Tube channel is a slideshow of construction photos from the start to the present. It can be seen here:

I also have many other layout videos at my main channel here:

I hope you enjoy a look at my layout

Thank you very much. Something is wrong with the settings on that video. There should be an option showing to watch it on You Tube showing. Click it and see if it will play.

I missed the link earlier. It does take me to all your videos from that link and they do play.

Thanks for pointing that out.
