Switcher in Hoyt Industrial west of Portland Terminal Yard

Progress has been made over the past year on my new N scale layout (4th one).

It is a Proto-lance UP/NP/SP/SP&S share Portland Terminal set in 1960's, passenger operations is core with freight with complimentary freight operations.

DCC is Digitrax and car forwarding is with car card & waybill designed by Raymond FIsher of Mechanisburg, PA. TimeTable & Train Orders will be used with a fast clock, however initially we are using track warrants.

The layout is currently operated "in the dark" meaning no signals, however I hope to add signals next year. I have connected the layout (below )to my previously built shortline based upon 1972 "Model Railroader" KINNICKINNICK DOCK, set in 1950's, using UP/NP leased equipment.

Novices are welcome. We are working on a method to dIspatch via Internet with Ray as the dispatcher based on east coast.
I live in CA/Central CA, near Nevada City.
