Cedar River & Iowa Central Railway (CRANDIC Route)

This is an island/walk-in style N scale model railroad in a 44’ X 22’ L-shaped basement room. This prototype-based freelanced road runs from Kansas City north to central Iowa. Features of this operation-oriented layout include many scratch-built and kit-bashed structures; unique rural agricultural scenery of corn, soybeans and other cropland; and many mini-scenes, some humorous and some showing everyday life on this 1968-era freight and passenger railroad.
