This is a continuation of my original blog which documents the design and building of a model railroad, the Paducah and Lake Erie, a free-lance bridge line set in the modern time to replicate the coal hauling railroads of southwestern Pennsylvania.

Freytag Engine House
This is the Freytag Engine House, kit bashed by the late Master Modeler Dean Freytag explicitly for the P&LE. After determining that space limitations made a turntable problematic, we decided to make entrance to the facility via turnouts, which is prototypical of the large facility in Paducah. Routing to each of the engine house bays is being done by a series of Digitrax DS 64's. The installation is bring done by Brian Post, who has done a lion's share of the electronic work on the railroad's turnout motors.
