Linfield Northern & Southern RR:Northfield YardBack in 1989, I built the original Linfield Northern andSouthern Railroad. The railroad was 11’-5” long (the exactwidth of my home office), and only two feet wide. It wasbased on the “Gum Stump and Snowshoe Railroad” as featuredin Model Railroader, April 1966. To this day, it providesme much enjoyment, switching from top to bottom with thatseven-percent grade!Moving on to 2006, the Internet has provided me with ahost of information on modular railroads from around theO Scale in a Very Small SpaceJohn P. Dunn, Sr.world. In particular, small layout design at the Yahoo Groupshas a myriad of layouts in many scales, most adaptable to OScale. As seen in previous issues of O Scale Trains, the Britishappear to be leaders in this concept (Marshall Vine’s excellentmodular railroads, the Kingsbury Terminal RR in OST#5 and Vine Street Yard in OST #7). Those articles, and theYahoo Groups, led me to design my latest modular railroad,the Linfield Northern and Southern’s Northfield Yard.I had certain criteria for operations and design for thenew layout. It would be built on 2’ x 6’ pink foam (2” thick)with 1x4 wood underbracing for lightweight transport toshows. The trackplan would include an interchange track forthree 40’ or smaller freight cars. A runaround track for nomore than two freight cars was required, with three industriesto service, coal, scrap, and public delivery. It would usecommercially available track, so as not to scare away potentialO Scalers. I used old code 113 AHM/Rivarossi track. Itlooks great on a switching layout. The layout would be highlydetailed to showcase O Scale qualities that, in many cases,have not been seen by other scale modelers or the public.I decided very quickly that our local A.C. Moore artsand craft store was going to be my source for many items todetail and scenic my layout. Each week, a 40%-off couponin our local newspaper made detailing the layout a bargain.The total cost was about $275, including the track (purchasedon eBay). Products from manufacturers include WoodlandScenics figures and animals, Arttista figures, Athearn and K-Line vehicles, and buildings from American Model Builders,May/June ’07 - O Scale Trains • 21
