Paul et all

Attached are some photos and description of the Transylvania Div. of the ERIE RR. The track plan does not represent any particular location on the ERIE, DL&W or EL. Layout location names come from the ERIE or are modifications of ERIE location names. Time period is 1955 to 1957, depending on rolling stock on the layout.

I do have occasional operating sessions. An operating session usually keeps three operators busy for two or three hours. All trains are locals, including the milk train ( the only passenger service). If you like to run long, through trains you wouldn't like operations on this layout. If you like to keep busy switching yards and/or industries you would have a good time.

#1 shows the west end of the largest yard.
#2 shows the east end of the largest yard.
#3 shows the highest and lowest points on the layout.
#4 shows our only passenger train arriving at Tip Top to pick up loaded milk car.
#5 shows the other large yard on the layout.

With Bill Botkin posting his AMAZING layout images (thanks, Bill!), and with
progress being made (SLOWLY) on my home layout, I thought I'd share photos
of the almost-complete west end ("Scranton") staging yard. Not much action,
but it's fun to switch trains in and out of the tracks :)... Next stop,
Port Morris!

P.S. I know others here have layouts - why haven't YOU posted photos???? :)
:) :) C'mon, take a few shots - we'd love to see your work!
