Danby Ludlow & Springfield RR

Layout Description

The model DL&S is a fictitious bridge line located in the area that was the Rutland RR’s Bellows Falls subdivision. It connects with the Boston & Maine on the east and the Rutland, Delaware & Hudson, and Dorset Valley (my son’s fictitious railroad) on the west. These are all represented by hidden staging. There are several jobs available: yardmaster, local freights, thru freights, and passenger trains. We run a sequence of trains in a relaxed manner. We're here to have fun. We have been operating on the DL&S for several years now, usually every other week or so.
