| | | Greeley Freight Station Museum Uses Model Builder and Our Universal LED lights
| The Greeley Colorado Greeley Freight Station Museum and Operating Model Railroad is in construction right now.
We at Evan Designs recently donated a copy of Model Builder and Brickyard to this great organization.
Here is a little information about this very ambitious 5,500 Square Foot HO project:
The Greeley Freight Station Museum (GFSM) is designed to be a part of the City of Greeley Museums in Greeley, Colorado. The building and grounds will be donated to the city at the appropriate time, probably when each element of the project is totally completed.
Funding will come from private donations and will be over a million dollars. The building is finished and has 9,500 square feet on the main floor and another 2,000 feet in mezzanine, storage and break room space.
The featured element, a 5,500 sq. foot HO gauge model railroad layout, will have ten separate wiring systems, 20+ scale miles of mainline track, hundreds of buildings (many of which have been scratch built), thousands of hand made trees and scenery never before attempted on a model railroad.
The layout will be configured so that it might operate automatically in a "show" mode, and in manual "operational" mode for train running sessions.
The wharf areas will feature ships that are fully operational "in the field", along with a full-scale model of the 729 foot ore carrier, Edmund Fitzgerald.
