HO SCALE: Florida Central Railroad
This HO-scale Florida Central RR design was done for a client back in March of 2019 that wanted a small layout based on an industrial park in Orlando, Florida. I was very impressed with the possibilities in the area depicted on the layout; the curves are sharp and the equipment is modern, making for quite a contrast. Many buildings have rounded corners, and there is a lot of still active industries congested in the locale. The tight curves made it possible to fit the layout in a U-shaped 6-foot by 6-foot space using 12-inch wide shelves. There are three industries shown: AmeriGas (propane dealer), Coca-Cola Beverages, and the Frito-Lay Company. While the op-session would be relaxed, it still would offer enough action to keep a crew busy switching for almost an hour.

Kids could learn to operate this layout very easily! Exactly the type of layout that I would love to have! Hat tip! Rob's layouts are always very pleasing to the eye! Would love to be a client! |
