This is a 5x8 HO scale layout called Granite Gorge and Northern from an old Atlas layout book. I began this eight years ago and the only thing that is not finished is the scenery. Two main lines run at the same time on this wonderful layout. This includes all nickel-silver track with 11 power selector switches and 12 turn switches. All are automatic. It includes two power supplies which are a Sound and Power 7000 and a Tech 3 Power Command 9000. The former makes real diesel and steam locomotive sounds. There are over 25 cars included (see photos). Two are the locomotives. One is a Athearn Union Pacific diesel and the other is a Bachman Southern Pacific steam. Both locomotives run as new.
This layout uses a "deformed plywood top" rather than a plain "flat top" so that the track has a gentle grade as though it is traveling up and down a mountain. A river even runs down the center of it! It took many hours cutting all the grid work under the plywood. It rests on six legs which are attached with bolts and wing nuts. It can easily be dissasembled and either put in a pickup or van. It is easily transportable because it is hinged at the center.
I cannot ship this because the bridges on the layout are too fragile. If someone wanted it so badly for me to ship, I could ship it but I would have to pack up all the bridges and you would not be able to see it work when you came to pick it up. This would have to be worked out after it is purchased.
Also included is a Red Mountain Mine building and a mountain portal. All the man hours, wood, trains, track, and electronics are worth well into the thousands. I have kept this covered in my garage so that it is in excellent condition. This would make a wonderful hobby for someone who would like to build scenery. I am selling all of it; not just a few trains.
