Notes:
Greg maintains two layouts in two separate locations. He models a fictitious UP branch line, and runs a variety of old and new equipment. Both layouts feature the same theme and setting, but have completely different track plans (see the magazine article for that). The objective with this layout was to model a large rail yard operation and to feature the A.C. Gilbert accessories (almost all were "junkers" that Greg repaired and made operational again). Note that the photos shown here are newer and different from the ones shown in the magazine article.
