Dave Campbell's Hi Rail Layout

Construction

 

   This photo shows the lower level during
an early construction phase of the layout.

   My S Hi-Rail layout is modeled loosely around the 50’s.  It's not modeled after any specific locale and combines the heralds of several different railroads.  Currently, the layout is 16 X 16 with center controls.

Using Sievers products, I assembled the bench work for the layout in only 1 day. I was able to salvage all of it when I recently moved. It is an awesome system.

The layout was designed on the RR-Track computer designing system. It is constructed with Sievers benchwork and utilizes the S-Helper S-Trax system and is built on 2 levels.  The main level is at an elevation of 42” and the upper level is at 46”.

The layout features American Flyer rolling stock and accessories.  Additionally, there are components from LTI, American Models and SHS.  Structures are derived from a potpourri of sources.

I have finished an area in my attached garage and extended several tracks for staging.

Construction began in 2004. The layout is 100% complete for both track work and scenery. There is a future planned
expansion, pending capital and site
approval from spousal corporate headquarters.
