CamasPrairie-TRS2010

The Camas Prairie project was taken from a track plan published in 'Model Railroad Planning, 1998' by Kalmbach publishing company. The author of the route and track plan is Dave Clemens and he should be credited for the plan and the original inspiration behind this layout. The portion of the Camas Prairie that is modeled is the fertile valley of Camas Valley in western Idaho near the Washington state border. This area is highly agricultural with many grain elevators. Peas and lentils are a large part of the agricultural production. The Camas Prairie is also a timber hauling railroad. But, Dave Clemens did not include this operation in his track plan. A bit of 'modelers license' with Dave's track plan has been taken with the addition of a small timber operation. The layout features a large staging yard in which the user can stage trains 'off-line' to deliver commodities to and take commodities and empties from the industries 'on-line'. Many grain hoppers are needed to service the many grain facilities found on Camas. A coal mine is also represented on the layout and empty coal trains can be set up in the staging area, taken to the mine to oload and then back to the staging to unload. The Camas Prairie layout is not a large route as it is only 20 baseboards in size, but it is packed with operational possibilities and should provide many hours of fun! All included content is available on the Auran DLS.
