Christopher's Second Layout

The original layout was scrapped and rebuilt to add more railyard for switching operations. A growing boy needed a new challenge. This is based off the Black River Junction layout from Model Railroader magazine, with a few extra tracks. He first named the town "Scottsdale" because it needed a name and that was the first name that came to mind. He was running all Atlantic Coastline engines and cars. Mom found the ACL museum in Wilmington, NC and arranged to get him to it, without his knowing in advance. He was grinning from ear to ear that day and renamed his town to "Wilmington". He may eventually one day model the real Wilmington depot and railyard, but not yet.
