In 2015, our school had a club layout themed during the 19th Century, but it was a West Pole module.
This is a reference to the time modeled on Jonathan Black’s Bear Mountain layout, but his is bigger and has a truckload of scenery. It’s located way up in the Poconos near Jim Thorpe, in the golden age of Amtrak. Today, Burlington Northern passenger trains pass through the area on I-476, the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
