The Rob Pratte Photo album...Just more trains as the layout really starts to take shape. The layout is currently using just one MTH Z4000 transformer. The wiring is done as per the MTH instructions for DCS and it has payed off in a flawless command operation. Email Rob! |

An Alaska Railroad passenger set passes the row of MTH buildings including the regional Isaly's Deli and Ice Cream shop. The Isaly's is part of the local Pittsburgh Series that MTH has been producing.
At the other end of this section is the MTH shipping building. The men busily move boxes from one building to the other in a never ending business day. Just out of frame is the MTH gas station.
A CAT train sits on a siding as Rio Grande' passes on the main line. MTH's Oil tank sits in the background and an MTH bank in the foreground.
The Norfolk and Southern is sure to play a big part of the layout as the Conway Yards are about 2 miles from Rob's house. He goes down there with his family and watches the yard for hours at a time.
Here is the custom roundhouse being built for Rob. It is a replica of the one at the Conway Yards.
Here is a bit of an overview of the family room section. It really is a big layout and by utilizing the ceiling saves the room for the family while providing hours of train fun! The legs on the ladder are none other than Rob's.
