Rail Clinic Descriptions (five)

34. Tom Guenthner & Fred Soward

Operations on Tom Guenthner's
L&N Railroad
Tom & Fred begin with a description of Tom's
HO scale layout, a 1960-1970 era Louisville &
Nashville representation of the Cumberland Val-
ley Division. They'll show you the paperwork
used to make it go and show how dispatching is
managed using JMRI software and an Apple
computer server. You'll be immersed with a slide
show that includes graphics, photographs, and
video to tell the story about moving freight
across the railroad from Three Point to Appala-
chia and return with multiple stops in between.

Creating Landscaping
Learn a simple method of creating land forms on
your layout or module and covering them to
form a hard plaster shell. Attach a rock casting
to your mountain. Then we move on to add the
green stuff and more to your layout. We will col-
or rocks, create grass, weeds, bushes, and trees
to create Mother Nature’s realism on your rail-
road.

LED Lighting
