ngg_shortcode_0_placeholderOn Sunday 31st May, it was Glynn Chamberlain’s turn to host the layout visit for the members of Emrig. The
\nturnout was great with many of the members getting together on the day to firstly see what Glynn has done
\nin his world of model trains, and secondly to enjoy the day with other members of the club.
\nThe last time that Glynn opened his home for a layout visit was approximately two years ago. The trackplan
\nsince then is still the same but what has changed is that a large portion of the layout has now been
\nscenicked.<\/p>\n
Glynn has chosen a large section of the Burlington Northern Sante Fe’s ( BNSF ) operations in Montana,
\nbetween Stryker and Browning with Whitefish as a major town. The layout fits into an area that measures
\ntwelve meters by five meters although the layout area is only 8m X 5m and is in the shape of a large E. The layout consists of two levels that are\u00a0connected at each end by a helix. The operations revolve around an eight track visible staging yard that\u00a0represents destinations beyond the modelled area, and a large classification yard (Whitefish) where trains are broken\u00a0apart and made up according to the need of the individual businesses and industries located in the towns\u00a0along the route.<\/p>\n
The layout is controlled using a Digitrax Chief with radio throttles to control the trains. Glynn is in the
\nprocess of implementing an operations system that used car cards for control.\u00a0On the day Glynn had a long intermodal container train, and a mixed freight making their way around the\u00a0layout while he answered many questions about his layout.<\/p>\n
Again, a good day was had by all. A big thank you goes out to Glynn for having us for the day, and also to
\nhis wife Lindsay and daughter Hayleigh for making all the snacks and eats, and also to his son John for braaing
\nthe wors for the wonderful Wors rolls.<\/p>\n
