THE MODEL RAILROAD – Dirk Start 5/15/26

Prototype

My HO scale railroad depicts Wyoming to Holland on the C&O in October 1968. Visible staging represents Wyoming on the east and Chicago on the West. Modeled area begins with a representation of Grandville; Hudsonville includes a passing siding and spurs; Zeeland includes a passing siding, and spurs; Waverly Yard is the hub of the railroad; and then Holland is represented by industry flats in front of the West end staging.
