Our G scale layout gets it's name from the Kingman Canyon in Kingman, Arizona as shown above. We are developing a combination of themes for our layout. The fictional history of the displays planned for our permanent location has two distinct areas.
The first is a time-line of railroading depicted by segments, including the industrial revolution, settlement of the west , the Civil War and Reconstruction, freight and passenger service 1900 to 1930, World War II, the 1950's - 2000, 2000 forward. The second distinct area will be a depiction of historic Route 66 starting at Chicago and ending in Santa Monica.
Our layout is a "fun" layout as opposed to a ultra perfect scale and function. The eventual goal is to provide a fun tourist experience in Kingman that appeals to all age levels. Part of our plan is to have a layout where people can run their own engines and cars as well as have access to ours. |
