This is the "Little Miami (Florida) Railroad"
named after I found an old stock certificate from the Little Miami Railroad
of Ohio.
The layout began in February 1998, and I am still working on it.
My trains had not been up since 1986 and I wanted my two teenage daughters
(13 & 14 years old) to see them again. The trains are now permanent
in what was once called the "dining room." We never ate in there
anyway!

The granules were sifted (large pieces were discarded) and spray painted various shades for the different tracks. A 50/50 mix of water and Elmer's glue bonded the tinted ballast to the cork. |

The layout uses original AF track except for the center track which
uses American Models flex track for a Putt Trains trolley due to the
small radius. |
I am an accessory nut...and the layout was built for the accessories.
The engines are there only to move the cars from one accessory to
another! |
