The Model
The pages in this area of the site provide information about the model, including a history of the layout, an overview of how the layout was constructed, future planning of expansion of the layout, and details on how to book Pine Bluffs Depot for your exhibition.
Begun in 1994, the Pine Bluffs & Ceda Falls Railroad was created by the American Section of the Alton Model Railway Group, and evolved out of the design criteria the section set down for construction of a modular American exhibition layout. Our aim was to create an easily expandable design, that would allow members and the section to build and exhibit a variety of models, based on the same basic design and construction methods.
The layout has grown and moved on since then, with two additional modules modelled and later retired - one for refurbishment and one for destruction. We are currently planning two new modules to extend the layout to a round-and-round configuration.
