Description

Hello! Welcome to The Main Track. Here, I’m featuring progress on the construction and operation of my HO-scale model railroad layout. It recreates the Missouri-Kansas-Texas “Katy” Railroad’s Sedalia Subdivision in west-central Missouri as it appeared in the summer of 1987.

The Sedalia Subdivision was part of the M-K-T Railroad’s mainline between Parsons, Kansas, and Saint Louis, Missouri. Threading across western and central Missouri, the M-K-T passed through rolling prairies, farmland, and small towns. This segment had several online agriculture-related rail customers, such as feed mills, grain elevators, and fertilizer bulk plants.

The layout is a 20x10x20 U-shaped shelf-style setup. It features 50 feet of mainline with numerous spurs serving industrial customers. The layout currently features the Sedalia to Clinton, MO segment. Plans are to expand the layout in the near future to feature the run between Kansas and Clinton.
