| Welcome to the
Durham Belt Line website. The Durham Belt Line is made up of a number of
individually owned HO Scale modules. In
January 2002, a group of Durham Region model railroaders got together and
decided that it was time to begin creation of a brand new modular model
railroad layout. With the advances in Model Railroad Digital Control it
was determined that a fully operational point to point layout could be
designed and operated at a show. The goal was to show the audience that a
railroad does not need to go in a continuous loop to be enjoyable.
The first module set was designed, the Town of
Blackwater, and Steve Feek began to build those two modules. The Town of
Backwater is used as a test bed for all of the the Belt Line ideas. For
details about Backwater look in the Modules section for a link to photos
and track plans.
The Gallery will have a number of photos from show
appearances, meetings and anything else that is not a module photo. These
will be sorted so that it will be easy to find the newest photos first.
The Durham Belt Line is always looking for new
members. If you live in Southern Ontario and would like to come down and
visit with us one evening feel free to email the webmaster and he will
schedule a time to visit.
