Thomas Austin's Missouri Pacific Joppa Sub 1979

Thomas has a unique and rather challenging attic space for his railroad. We managed to make use of three of the dormers while retaining the out-in-the-country and largely tangent prototype from Southern Illinois. Interestingly the staging wound up on the middle level, allowing the lowest deck to be reserved for track-for-track representation of two large coal mines. Follow Thomas' blog for voluminous prototype information.
