Steve Goaring's HO Scale Illinois Terminal Branch

Readers of Railroad Model Craftsman magazine may recognize Steve's layout from the July 2022 issue. Recently, during a local meet hosted by the Gateway Division of the NMRA, home layout tours were included with each admission. I was overjoyed to see that Steve's layout was on the tour list! I have followed his progress for awhile now and hoped to make a visit someday. I start by walking around the whole layout, giving details about the layout and its operation. Then I find a couple of trains out on the main line and demonstrate the operation of his train order signals, interlocking signals, crossing lights and swing bridge. Leave a comment down below!
