set is inspired by the crossing of the TP&W with the UP in
Chenoa, Illinois. It's major features are a functional interchange,
high speed crossing, and a now derelict depot. |

| The city of
Peoria straddles the mainline tracks, one of this bustling metropolis'
two main features. The other is its Gothic, Turn of the Century ( the
one before that ), Cathedral, built when Peoria was little more than a
cow-town (and a one cow-town at that) and the railroad ran a single
train per day. Today, Peoria is a thriving center of commerce and
culture, as witnessed by the extensive downtown reconstruction and the
near constant rumble of rail traffic. |

| Prospect |
Todd Gayhart |
Free-Mo |
| Prospect East,
Prospect West, and Prospect Junction are set in a typical
rural-Midwestern locale during the post-Staggers Act era of railroad
abandonments. With no switches, lineside industries, or sidings, the
pastoral setting and straightforward design achieves both a visual and
operational separation of the industrial switching districts on a
typical NWTM layout. The modules can be placed separately in a layout,
however they tend to look best when placed together. |

| The modeled
portion of the City of Quincy shows its industrial backbone: a railroad
classification yard, lumber yard, oil refinery and its crown jewel, the
Global Automotive Assembly Plant #7, the areas largest employer. |

| A module that is
Dual track in one direction and a crossing of single track at 90°. This
module might be an actual crossing in a future layout, and
works
as a scenery piece and filler in the present. |

| Wallace |
Clarence Guenther |
Free-Mo |
| Wallace, a two
piece module, is loosely inspired by the Roselle Industrial Park and is
meant to generate and receive freight traffic. Each corner is a
separate industry. It also has a short passing siding/run around track.
Wallace is named for the owner's in-laws and each industry is named
after a specific family member. |

principally as our staging yard. It is usually placed feeding directly
or indirectly onto Peoria Loop, but it can be used in line as a single
ended classification yard. Unsceniced. |

| A major
metropolis, Lawrenceburg boasts a passenger station with tracks for
serving transcontinental trains as well as locals and commuter trains
(Doodlebugs apply within!). This busy service stop can't be held up by
through freights, so the town installed a freight bypass complete with
passing track! Lawrencers are hoping that station stop will prove
popular enough to warrant the railroad expanding the engine service
facilities into a full blown engine terminal. |

| An 'imagineered'
present day industrial park on a riverfront, intended to imitate an
industrial area on the fringe of a city like Peoria, IL or Burlington,
IA. Built as a switching module, included a passing siding, a work
siding, and a 45° corner. A small engine terminal serviced engines that
served the different industries present. Included Bowman Beverage
Distributors, Reno Lumber team track, CMD Publishing, Cedric Cement,
KVO Mfg, an REA terminal, and a fuel depot. |
