Siskiyou Pacific

HO Scale – circa 1966
Owner: Larry Tuttle
Layout Location: ___?
"I started building my layout in 1987 in what used to be the garage of my house.
It loosely represents the Rogue Valley of Oregon circa 1966 with a few liberties taken with what "might have been." The modeled section includes from about the town of Rogue River to the summit of the Siskiyou Mountians.
Interchange with the Southern Pacific is accomplished with staging yards representing Eugene and Black Butte. Interchange is also with "what might have been" the Pacific & Eastern Railroad (Rogue Valley Model Railroad Club's railroad).
The main lines of the Siskiyou Pacific and Pacific & Eastern form a loop three scale miles long, on two levels connected by a double helix. Towns along the way (from north to south) include: Gold River (the division point), Rogue Point, Eagle Creek, Glen Creek (on a branch) and Siskiyou.
Control is by tethered walk around throttles built by the railroad's own shops.
Operation is by a card order system. Up to 5 trains can be operated simultaneously. A full operating session can keep six people busy for five hours moving 150 cars with two dozen trains."
