Hi there! Welcome to the Marias Pass HO Scale Layout. My name is Cam. I'm a grad student who has loved trains and model railroading my whole life, and this channel aims to share that passion with you. Previously known as the Plains Division, which focused on helper operations over Crawford Hill, the layout has been rebranded and remodeled after the western grade of Marias Pass between Whitefish, MT and Marias summit. ---Layout Specs--- Double-deck, no helix design Average grade: 1.1% Max. grade: 2.6% Mainline Run: about 200' Min. Radius: 26" Height: 38" to 66" Control System: Digitrax
