  • Update on my O scale Virginia Southwestern Layout. I have the upper level built and I'm doing scenery on it and installing CTC Signals. This shows the Boody passing track and Boody yard. I'm modeling the Clinchfield Railroad from SE Trammel to Kingsport with Trammel, Dante yard, Boody with hanging rock, St Paul, Clinch river, Miller Yard, Hardwood, Starnes, Copper Creek, Speers Ferry and Kingsport yard for staging on the lower level. The Atlas GP7s are custom painted and detailed and have Loksound decoders from the new run of Atlas GPs. IM modeling the late 50s so its mostly GPs and F units for power. I model the N&W out of St Paul with a line to a tipple, kind of like the Dumps Creek branch where Clinchfield had trackage rights but also N&W interchanged coal and freight at Boody yard. Also on the lower level I plan to add a line that models the Southern Railway that runs from Appalachia, VA down under Copper Creek to Speers Ferry connecting into Kingsport with Waycross but it will be loop to loop. I hope to add the Natural tunnel under the big peninsula and run a coal train on the Southern line for scenery mostly. I converted my Western Maryland layout to go back to Clinchfield and get some N&W which is getting back to my roots of modeling Clinchfield. I started the layout in 2017 but switched to O scale in 2019 but have made a lot of changes to the plan to get a more prototypical layout.

    Is the 2 rail still AC like 3 rail or is it DC? Where do you source 2 rail O gauge locomotives?
