JPandF Scenic Railway
Jim took advantage of this unusually mild winter and ran trains on New Years day 2007.
Jim Davis of Kemptville, Ontario started the JPandF Scenic Railway in June of 2000. He and his son Terry laid about 75 feet of Aristo-Craft track on a bed of stone dust, 10 inches wide by 10 inches deep.
The next year, a pond and stream were added and more greenery planted. Over the next three years, a two foot quarry stone wall was built and filled, to allow another 100 feet of track to be laid. Buildings, small trees and home-made, metal bridge were added.
A line through a basement window to a 30 foot staging area was also built. Jim finds this saves a lot of time setting up and taking down.
The railway is track powered and radio controlled using an LGB power pack and Aristo-Craft trackside Train Engineer. Motive power and rolling stock are a mixture of USA Trains, Aristo-Craft and Bachmann.
