Welcome to the Carleton Railway!

The Carleton Railway is an HO scale, double deck, 1960's-era layout that is designed for operations. Operating sessions are held about once a month; an ideal-sized crew is 10-12 crew people, although the layout has operated with as few as 7 and as many as 19! The setting is Carleton County, New Brunswick; for motive power, the railway uses F-M Trainmasters and a variety of Alco power (S4, C420, C-424, C425, RS3, RS18). The mainline is 260' long, not including staging tracks at both ends. The layout fills a 22' x 28' basement. Wayfreights deliver and pick up primarily agricultural goods from a variety of shippers in Carleton County and Northern York County.
