Fort Wayne Union Railway -
Galduex Refinery:
Refines oil into aviation fuel and other
refined products. Inbound chemicals needed to refine oil.
Outbound refined aviation fuel.
Zolner Piston:
Manufactures pistons for the automotive in-
dustry. Inbound materials needed for casting pistons. Out-
bound finished pistons to various automobile manufacturers.

I believe this layout design is a good beginner layout for a hob-
by newcomer to start their journey in the hobby, and I’d love to
hear from any new model railroader who elects to build this or
something inspired by it.
The other winning contest entries will be published one per
month for the next several issues of Model Railroad Hobbyist.
Each layout plan presented represents a small layout you
could build for $500, which proves getting started in model
railroading can be quite affordable with just a little cleverness!
