Club Layouts

The Club has two different layouts. One is portable and the other is fixed. Below is a summary of each. For more information click on the title or picture link for the layout.

HO Permanent Layout - The West Wisconsin Railroad

UPDATE: The club is moving to a new location. (See home page for a little more info.) Because of the move the permanent layout is no longer permanent. Disassembly has begun with the removal of all structures and track. Wiring is next to go. The salvagable parts will be stored until decision is made as to their future. We may build a new layout or may make our traveling layout into our primary layout or maybe something else will be done. Do not hold your breath. We are going to take our time and carefull consider the alternatives.

The theme is our name: West Wisconsin. Most everything on the layout has a current or historical prototype somewhere in western Wisconsin. The club's Operations Committee has the responsibility for the design of the layout. Layout construction is proceeding with lots finished, but more to be done. (Is a layout ever really finished?) It's all part of the model railroading enjoyment.
           

HO Modular Layout - The Traveling Layout

This portable layout is a modular HO-DCC layout and sometimes referred to as the suitcase layout due to the style of contruction of the modules. It's size is 18ft x 40+ ft based on the number of existing modules. We have taken it to many shows. Modules are owned by members who may choose whatever theme thay like for their modules. The club also owns several modules.
