Sign Board

This semi-prototypical scene models the terrain found on US 412 near Orienta, Major County, Oklahoma. It illustrates how the topography turns from red earth and rock capped buttes west of the Cimarron River to tan soil and rolling hills east of the river. Two main line tracks and their shared siding meander through serpentine cuts in the rolling hills while a branch line follows its own path further back. Look carefully and you can see activity under the bridges and more back behind the bridges. The red ground seen on Cimarron River is real Oklahoma red earth collected from an oil well location near Woodward, OK.

Description & History

On this 12' diorama, the blue line works its way to the back of the modules. The red and yellow lines angle slightly to the rear, spread apart and share a 9' long (1/4 scale mile) common siding that can be switched to select power from the Red line, Yellow line or off. The three tracks (red, siding and yellow) meander through serpentine cuts in the rolling hills. Although the two modules are complete, operational and have scenery, we still have to put a little water in the Cimarron River bottom.
