Brian Campbell's BB&E Railroad (HO)
Layout Tour Dates
The BB&E layout is build around a 32’ combination freight and passenger yard, with a small remnant of an older yard NW side of the yard. From the yard a slight grade leads to multiple industries, and then along a rushing river and a concrete bridge. As the grade decreases more farms and orchards are present, until the steep mountains. Once on the upper track, there will be a small yard, more industries, and some mountain grades.
This railroad is a point to loop single mainline with plenty of operations opportunities.
