Layout(s)

Layout Description:

The club's oval-shaped 14' x 36' layout consists of three concentric loops. Each loop is independent of the others. The inside loop supports A.C. Gilbert-style wheels. The outside loop, and its turnouts, is made out of code 100 rail and so only supports "scale" equipment. The middle loop has no turnouts, so it can support any wheel type. Since the loops are independent, each one can support any type of control system that is attached to it. The layout has been featured in several magazine articles.

With the kind permission of the NMRA magazine, we share this photo collage, which includes one photo by Fred Soward, MMR (center left), and one by Cinthia Priest (top right). One of their issues in 2025 contains a lengthy report on the NMRA's National Convention that took place July 14 through 19 in Novi, Michigan (Detroit area). The Southeastern Michigan S Gaugers (SMSG) were pleased to participate in two ways. First, three of the SMSG members had their S-scale layouts on the schedule for the convention's self-guided home tours, namely Bill Bartlam, Bob Stelmach, and Gaylord Gill. Second, the SMSG had their 14' x 36' display layout set up in the huge National Train Show, held Saturday and Sunday of the convention week. On page 25 of the September issue, the NMRA Magazine article included these shots of Gaylord and one of the structure models on the club's layout.
