Frog City
Switching and Sipping Society
How’s this for a mess of trackwork! This is a small section of the very large Switching and Sipping Society’s modular layout set up at the NMRA Train Show in Detroit.
I first saw this layout in Cincinnati and was blown away by the meticulous trackwork. It has to be seen to be believed. This section, appropriately named “Frog City”, contains quite a few crossings, many of which are dual gauge, all hand laid. Trains operate flawlessly through the entire section, with a symphony of clickity clackity from the metal wheels. Quite a sight to see and masterfully built.
