New Items On The Market

James Roberts' S layout in Nashville, Indiana. The photo depicts a scene outside of the town of Helmsburg IN in the early 1950's on the Indianapolis Southern Division of the Illinois Central. The station burned in '55 so James scratchbuilt this one using old photos. The cabin and trailer are from BTS (Bill's Train Shop). The old wooden boxcar was built by Richard Fleming an On3 modeler in Michigan. The layout is about 15% complete. It will encircle an "L" shaped basement room about 20' by 22'.
