DENNIS GRIGASSY’S Old Orchard & Southern Railway 2008 to present … My Old Orchard & Southern Railway is under construction. The OO&S is using much of the trackage, rolling stock, controls, and computer programming from my now-demolished Waterside Railway.
Located on the second floor of my home in a 12'x18' room, the HO-scale Old Orchard & Southern Railway is being built for "operations," runs modern equipment, and has two 4-track staging areas, several towns w/switching, a turntable/roundhouse area, and an folded figure-eight twice around the room loop for continuous running. The railroad is "operated" as point-to-point with the turntable serving both "ends" of the run, uses wireless EasyDCC for control, and RailOp for computer-generated train manifests. The RailOp "dispatcher's" option is used for real-time scheduling of trains. While not a "large" layout, it can keep 2-3 operators busy for several hours.
