COMMENTS: The layout has 80% of the bench work finished, and is a multi level layout. Some scenery is complete, however most of layout is bench work.
When complete the layout will represent a line that could have run up the Clarion River from Clarion, to Ridgeway and beyond.
This line serves the various industries that could have been along the river, and acts as a bridge route for Penn Central/Conrail, B&O/Chessie/BP,LEF&C, Tionesta Valley.
The layout is a true point-to-point system.
