St. Johnsbury, Vermont - Canadian Pacific, Maine Central, Lamoille Valley
I will be prominently modeling St. Johnsbury, Vermont. It is at the center of my layout, both physically and operationally. It occupies a 3' x 14' section of the center peninsula and feature the trackage of CP, MEC and LVRC, as well as some yard tracks and local sidings. I have included the E.T. & H.K. IDE buildings, the Caldbeck-Cosgrove building, Allen Lumber, and also a freelanced propane dealer. I was not able to fit in the Ralston Purina plant or the turntable, and I have reduced the number of yard tracks. I also did not model the large CP passenger station. This appears to be a quite a challenge, and it would be in my aisle anyway!
Most of the layout operations will involve St. Johnsbury in some way. CP-BM trains pass through, while MEC and LVRC trains will arrive and depart with interchange traffic. Meanwhile, a CP switcher will handle the local industries as well as sorting the interchange cars.
Here are some views of St. Johnsbury yard on my layout. All of the track is in place with scenery mostly complete. Structures and details are still ongoing. Some structures are complete while others are still mockups. I will probably wait until more of the layout infrastructure is complete before getting back to modeling these buildings.
