Meramec Valley
& Pacific Lines

Started in early 2006, the Meramec Valley & Pacific is the name given to my current layout. Still very much a "work in progress" - it is a free-lanced HO-scale layout featuring mid-western operations of both the Missouri Pacific and Frisco railroads circa 1960-1970.

The name for the layout comes from the geographic region that a portion of the line passed through. The Pacific part of the name has a double meaning - it represents both the Pacific coast as in Missouri Pacific, and it also represents Pacific, Missouri, where the Frisco mainline and the Missouri Pacific tracks go their seperate ways.
