Green Bay Area Model Railroader’s Club and
2027 Titletown Train Show
Raffle – April 25, 2027 @ 3:45 pm

Work on the the 2027 Raffle layout has begun!!!

Something new: The pictures and descriptions below chronicle the building of the raffle layout as it progresses. Any special notations as to techniques used or special tools used will attempt to be noted.

The club’s first Order of business is to select a track plan from the many entries submitted by members! The track plan that was selected is below.

WEEK 1: Constructing the base table of the layout.

The club uses a Krieg’s Tool to help make joints invisible. This is especially helpful as many times wiring or switch machines interferes with location of joints. Usage of the Krieg’s Tool makes it easy to relocate a bracing piece of wood to another location. This is extremely helpful when the outer perimeter of the layout is up against a wall. Using the Krieg’s Tool also keeps the outside of the layout clean from screw heads showing or being hidden by facia.

WEEK 2: Determining location of tracks and switches

Note: The layout will include, as a minimum, -1 Locomotive (w/ DCC* & Sound), 3 cars, 1 caboose. 

One DCC control system. The buildings and other placements may not be exactly as the pictures show.

* DCC = Digital Command Control
