August 27th- Back to Maryville Where We Head South

Post date: Aug 29, 2015 5:50:7 PM

We began our tour in Maryville and headed north to Shreveport. Tonight we return to Maryville and will head south.

This map was prepared by Sue Line Crew member Charlie DeVillbiss.

As we leave Maryville and head to Ft. Barrow, we pass a farm on a hillside (above).

Yes this is a N-scale structure to give some forced perspective to the scene.

Here we see the north end of Ft. Barrow siding.

This area is named in honor of long time friend and model railroading

legend, David Barrow of Austin, Texas.

We David Barrow first developed his "domino theory" for model railroads,

he did a plan for the Sue Line- only minimal changes would have had to be made-

THEY WERE NOT MADE.....

He we see the south end of the siding at Ft. Barrow.

The track south of the siding is double track to Pinecrest.

The LED lights on the power house are done by

Sue Line Crew member

Dillon Stokes.

Here we see Great Bridge (above)

The scenery and water in this area was done by

Sue Line crew member

David Colvin.

Here we see two views of the corn field

which is just south of Great Bridge (above).

As with any model railroad, there is still some work to be done

as the dual mainline passes through a wall and

into the "new room"

The front track is actually a spur which we will see

next week.
