John Rieken is holding a Piedmont Division members-only operating session August 12, 2017 on his "Transcon-Four" HO scale layout.
This session is limited to Piedmont Division members only. Space is limited - registration is required.
John's HO scale layout depicts terminal operations in the Chicago area near the end of the 1960’s.
This layout was designed as a transcontinental operation with Chicago as the hub of activity. When complete, operators will be able to take a Pennsylvania train from Philadelphia into Chicago, hand the transfer consist over to the Belt Railroad of Chicago, leave westbound on the CB&Q, and continue on to the west coast on the Great Northern from Minneapolis.
The track work on this 40’ x 53’ layout is currently 65% complete with operations taking place on the PRR, BROC and CB&Q. Digitrax DCC Simplex is used for Command and Control.
The "Transcon-Four" is located at:
371 E Coker Rd
Homer, GA 30547-2310
John is just off of I-85 approximately 60 miles north of Spaghetti Junction.
