Some 30 trains are run in a two hour operating schedule, using Train Cards and Car Cards with way bills. The two railroads operate side by side just as in real life. |

The Newark Terminal Division is a 28’ x 16’ layout that is fully operational and 90% sceniced, featuring separate Penn Central and CNJ mainlines with a jointly owned and operated switching road, the Newark Terminal. The locale is North Jersey running west into Pennsylvania. The era is firmly set to represent 1969-1974, with all rolling stock, locomotives, and scenic items modeled as they would have appeared during this time frame, including weathering and restenciling details on rolling stock. Passenger operations on both railroads are also represented. |

The Jersey Valley MRR Club runs on a 60’ x 30’ layout in the basement of the Kuser Mansion. It is a fictional layout where the members run their own trains of various road names. The layout fills one large room and covers areas from city to suburban to country. As you walk through the aisles, you will see a below ground train station, as well as ground level stations, a roundhouse, freight yards, industrial areas, a Dairy Farm, and other scenery. You will recognize examples from real life including Veteran's Park and a very nice model of the Hopewell Train Station. |

It features interesting upstate New York scenery with lots of craftsman kits. |

There is also a streetcar line with a carbarn and 100 ft of paved track with working overhead. |
