2026 02 23 First Train into Cody

Описание: This video shows the first regular train arriving in Cody, on the lower deck of the layout. Cody trackwork isn't complete yet, but enough is done to run regular trains to town. Additional track will be completed over the remainder of 2026.

In a few days I'll post another video showing the loco spotting the first cars in Cody, then switching Powell on its way back to Greybull.

The layout represents the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad and the Chicago & North Western Railway in central Wyoming during the timeframe 1930-1945. The layout is all steam except for the Doodlebugs that were used in passenger service between Casper and Lander. Model locomotives include Proto 2000, Broadway Limited, Spectrum and Bachmann.
The layout features Fast Tracks turnouts and fully weathered rolling stock. All mainline curves are superelevated. The layout is multi-deck with nearly nine scale miles of mainline track. One of the key scenic features is a twenty-plus foot long representation of the Wind River Canyon near the center of the state.
The layout is run by a radio NCE Power Pro DCC system, augmented with wi-fi using a Wifitrax WFD-31 and TCS UWT-50 throttle.
Backdrops are panoramic photos of the actual locations around the state. Track arrangements in most towns on the layout are based on Sanborn maps of the towns in the 1930's and 1940's. Industries, with only one or two exceptions, are representative of actual industries that existed in each town during my modeled period.
This series of videos is published monthly on the 3rd.
