Model Railroading > Another 3-way turnoutDate: 08/07/19 13:02 Another 3-way turnout Author: santafedan At the Indiana Live Steamers, we also have two three way turnouts. This design is a little more compact. These are in the yard.

Boyd in Chiloquin home of > Train Mountain. Erv, our grounds director, works hard for that look. He and another member spend a lot of time working on the grounds. Thanks for noticing, Boyd.
