Avery Power & Light Home Layout


In an effort to get a bit of "Run time" the layout is a folded loop.  Trains leaving Avery westbound pass Plummer to get to
St. Maries.  Likewise trains leaving St. Maries westbound pass Avery to get to Plummer.  West of Plummer is the staging
yard which leads back to the east end of Avery.

St. Maries on the left, Plummer under the court house.  The court house module is also part of the portable layout.  Here it represents one end of the traction line that runs through Upper Avery.  Nine days earlier there was a pool table under those raised lights!

Avery & St. Maries

The swinging gate is just that, a thirty inch wide swinging door
for access into the layout.  I don't do duckunders!
