CSX new diesel house Northeast Florida Model Railroaders

Come take a ride and look inside our new CSX diesel house fueling and servicing facility. Our new state of the art facility includes a quick fuel service island. Observe the busy railroad workers keeping one of the nations premiere railroads on the rails. Don't overlook the complimentary freight terminal busy loading and unloading much needed railroad replacement parts and equipment to keep the mighty diesels running. You'll notice the freight terminal just before you enter the diesel house. Randy Jaerger just completed a six foot by two foot module inserted into the Northeast Florida Model Railroaders module layout. Each module is completed according the National Model Railroad Associations (NMRA) module standards. This particular module has thirteen tortoise remotely controlled turnouts activated by four DCC Specialties "Wabbits" decoders. Our layout is larger since we've installed the renovated massive steel mill.
Northeast Florida Model Railroaders presents the 1/87 HO scale modular model railroad and Randy Jaerger's new white-purple-white module. The module compliments the existing diesel yard with another Walthers diesel house servicing facility and a small freight terminal by Model Power. Unique color code selection is assigned to each club member which creates an orderly process to identify components that belong to corresponding modules during tear down and assembly.
