Notes:
Ed started this layout in 2010 using materials from his previous layout. The track goes up to the second level and then back down to the lower level. There are only a couple of turnouts on the lower level to facilitate multiple trains. He can run 4 trains at one time. The buildings are Plasticville, but he is reworking them one by one to make them more realistic. He makes his own ballast, trees, shrubs, and ground cover. In 2025 he announced that he is selling off his entire collection and dismantling his layout.
