PJ Mattson, MMR – Raccoon Valley RR (HO)

NEW JERSEY DIVISION

Mountain geography. Steam, diesel; freight, passenger, and special-run equipment. Double-track main line, horseshoe curve, with bridge and local traffic from RVR, PRR, RDG, LV, CNJ, NYC, WM, PRSL, D&H. Walkaround layout design. Fully operating signal system assists operation on the Raccoon Valley Railroad.Digitrax made special boosters so that PJ could use his existing signal system when he switched to DCC. Good operation and scenery are hallmarks of this fine layout. Feature article in Model Railroading magazine December 2005.
