John’s Central Maine and Aroostook models operations of the Maine Central and the Bangor & Aroostook in the 1960s /1970s. The layout is a large “around-the-room” multilevel layout, which utilizes switch lists and verbal authority. The dispatcher monitors train movements, and controls all turnouts through a computer. Local control panels operate via the computer as well. Track-work is complete, and scenery is about 95% complete. The layout is accessed by a stairway to the second floor. The layout uses Digitrax DCC.
