My HO scale Traction layout, "Wiley City"

This is my second traction layout, based on the Fruit Warehouses at Wiley City on the Yakima Valley Transportation Co. network in Washington State. First of all we see GE Steeplecab 298 (Model Railroader Jan 2010) arrive with an Intermountain 57' UPFE Reefer, then proceed to switch the outbound traffic. Then scratchbuilt Line Car A arrives with a flat car.

All of the Fruit buildings are scratchbuilt, and the General Store is from Blair Line. The trackwork is Shinohara code 70, with Fast Tracks #4 turnouts. My first YVT layout has recently been dismantled, but can be seen on another Youtube clip.

Nice layout the Line Car was very cool looking did you build it or was it brass??

[AndyGautrey]

@cvgeeps I built it from drawings in Sept. 1985 RMC. My Steeplecab 298 was in Jan. 2010 Model Railroader.

Congrats, Andy. Wonderful detail & exc switching moves. Loved the fruit orchard in the background.

Are you concerned that the flagman's arms will get tired? :)

That is fantastic. Such a great job on everything. It makes me feel like I'm watching the whole scene from years ago.
