Turtle Creek Centrall lives
Tuesday, January 07, 2014
Any fans out there of the old Turtle Creek Central series that ran in MR. They actually published a decal set with the magazine. If anyone else painted some up...lets see-em!

I like those! I remember the issue when they built a new branch line. Neat little layout.

I think this road name could almost pass for something Tyco could have made themselves.

My dad grew up in a town nearby here in PA called Turtle Creek!

Looks like a place that was bustling with rail activity, Pennsylvania is such a great state for railfans!

| Great photo Sean. That would be a heck of a layout to re-create.

When the Turtle Creek Central dieselized with FM power it also debuted its new Turtle Creek Cannonball streamliner.

Add one more fan. I had forgotten about the TCC MR project, and you have done some terrific work. Thank you for the postings.

Beautiful layout, Steve, and nice decal work. Nice job re-tooling the pilot on that C-Liner, too.
Btw, here's a drive-in you may want to add to the pike. 
Sean, your B&W photo is a perfect example of a typical spaghetti bowl layout. Completely unrealistic.
