Doug Geiger's Granite Mountain
Railway is a three level HO layout made for operation. Doug has modeled an East-West
bridge route thru the Colorado Rockies to Washington state with 3% grades in some
places. That means helpers on his long freights with diesel and steam power.
A helix is the trick that makes a multi-level railroad a reality, and Doug will
describe some of his methods for building the 3 on the Granite Mountain. Doug
will also show you how to reduce derailments with a few modifications to common
boxcar kits. A railroad that fills a 43X23 foot basement needs lots of pine trees,
so Doug will share his method of making them from jute and wire.
You'll tour the GMRwy behind a modern diesel powered passenger train, and then
enjoy an operating session done in the prototype manner. The "Keller-Cam"
is our new camera that will take you inside the locomotive cab for a view not
possible before.
