City Market is regarded as a ‘micro’ layout, depicting a fictitious American City market, served by a short, privately owned railroad. As was normal practice with many American short lines, locomotives and rolling stock have all been bought secondhand, and are representative of some of the larger railroads.
The Model locos have all been fitted with KD couplings to enable hands free shunting to occur. Buildings are either scratch built or ‘kit-bashed’ in some way, using kit's by Walthers, Metcalf and DPM modules.
