Tim Jarboe’s Hoosier Southern RR

Select this Layout for Printing

This is a freelance layout based on a short line of the Southern RR that used to service my home town of Tell City in southern Indiana. It is set in the early transition era with industry and businesses being modeled on actual memories from my childhood and stories from my parents. It contains a main level and a lower level that is designed as a switching layout to service industries from that time period.

The operations simulate traffic patterns through a major interlocking tower, SH Interlocking in Madison lL. During an operating session, the SH Tower operator will control the movement of about 50 trains from 5 different mainlines. About half of these movements are switching transfers from many different railroads in the St. Louis area (5 staging yards.)
