Staging yards representing Harrisburg, Enola Yard, the
Petersburg branch, Pittsburgh, Conway Yard and Shire Oaks
Yard are housed in an adjoining 8' by 18' room. Harrisburg/
Enola/Petersburg consists of six staging return loops (each lon-
ger than the longest passing siding on the railroad) and three
shorter stub-end tracks. Pittsburgh/Conway/Shire Oaks has a
nearly identical arrangement, except with two stub-end tracks,
and is stacked directly on top of Harrisburg with 16 inches
between levels.
The mainline from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh is three times
around the basement for a total run of 550 feet, which is five
miles in O scale. The Cumberland branch terminates in six more
staging tracks located under the scenery. In total, there are
about 1800 feet of track on the layout, and over 125 turnouts.
