Deere Valley & Western Railroad
Happy New Year!
Thought I would share a couple photos of the "Deere Valley & Western" before its demolition and complete rebuild. This is a freelanced layout utilizing John Deere, UP, ATSF & WP equipment. Very busy for a 4x8 but DCC makes it manageable.
The era is summer 1960, so JD 4020's have just hit the dealers. Also, UP still had some functional Big Boys & Challengers, so 4013 and 3985 make appearances along with numerous UP and ATSF F units.
Demolition of the 4x8 will begin in early 2005 and a 5x12 is anticipated.
