This module is my second contribution to the NCNG Module Club layout. It is intended to represent a small engine repair facility for the Little River Logging Company. It consists of an engine house, fueling facility, water tank, storage shed, cabins, and a whistle stop for the nearby fishing lodge. The facility connects to the spur line that heads off to the tall timber. This module, along with the Mining module, won Best In Show for Individual Module at the 2011 National Train Show held in Sacramento. Read more about my modules in the 2011 On30 Annual magazine: http://carstensbookstore.com/2011on30annual.html
