1900 Era Layout Photos

Track
All the visible track on the 1900 era layout is code 70 and 55 handlaid on wood ties.  The exception being a couple yard tracks that are code 55 on PC ties.  The switches are built on paper templates made from P&R switch diagrams drawn in 1905.  The diagrams range from #3 to #14 switches.  I am using mostly #5 switches with some #6's on sidings and crossovers and a few #4's in industry tracks.
