Latest updates on benchwork and
backdrop can be seen on my Sn2 SR&RL
diary. |

After 2 moves, work has started
again on the layout. To chronicle the work I have added a diary
page to the Sn2 SR&RL pages. The diary is to be a
log of the layout, not a specific description of any aspects of
the layout. At some point in time, I will write more
detailed pages for information I deem worthy. The diary
pages do include photos, sketches, drawings etc...I write the
diary, as my own log, if you find value great. Quite likely
I will not always update this table for every diary entry, so
check back periodically to see what is planned and accomplished. |

Long awaited update to the web pages
it here. All new pages show progress made on scenery, backdrops,
and bridges. |
Sn2 SR&RL
My Sn2 SR&RL is inspired by the
prototype 2-Foot gauge Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes Railroad. My
intention is to reproduce specific towns and scenes as well as the
operations of the SR&RL in 1912. The plan that I developed includes the towns of Farmington, Strong, and Phillips as
well as scenes in between.
| Scale: |
Sn2 (Scale using 10.5mm, HOn3, track gauge) |
| Prototype: |
SR&RL (Farmington, Strong, & Phillips) |
| Time Frame: |
1908-1916, focusing on 1912 |
| Track: |
Handlaid, Railway Engineering Turnouts, Shinohara HOn3
Turnouts, & some HOn3 flex (mostly in staging type areas) |
| Train Control: |
DCC, with Soundtraxx Decoders |
| Turnout Control: |
Caboose Hobbies ground throws, all locos to have all wheel
pickup, dead or plastic frogs |
| Construction: |
Sectional, some sections are to move to future homes, some
just connect the layout. Sections are foam board based with
upson board (no longer available) or Homabed for the roadbed. |
| Minimum Radius: |
30" on important sections, 26" on
connecting sections. |
| Turnout Size: |
#8 whenever possible, otherwise #6 (Forney locos may have
problems with #6) |
| Locomotives: |
An 8 wheeled critter works the layout until I
have time to convert an MDC 2-8-0 to Sn2. |
| Rolling Stock: |
I acquired several freight cars from Mark Harris (he switched
to On2), these cars will get me started. Several manufacturers
are now producing kits, and T&T has just released a brass
passenger car. |
