Many new features have been added to enhance the outdoor layout for this event, to include the start of the construction of the Town of Skagway, Alaska. Come and see a working 4” diameter turntable and shops plus a radio controlled boom crane on the docks at Lynn Canal. Some of our other new major developments will surely please even the most skeptical railway enthusiasts.
