Description:
Peoria Loop club NMRA
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.
Quincy Loop club NMRA
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.

Description:
Thiel Crossing Bill Thiel dual (NMRA & Free-mo)
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.
Wangrow Yard club Free-Mo
Functions 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.

Lawrenceburg Station John Martin & Brian Williams NMRA
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.

Included Bowman Beverage Distributors, Reno Lumber team track, CMD Publishing, Cedric Cement, KVO Mfg, an REA terminal, and a fuel depot.
