Jay drives truck for a living and he combines the best of his profession and his hobby in these Republic Carloading and Distributing modules. The lights crossing lights flash and a bell dings as a train passes on the P&E main track. In the background, Republic's Balwin S-12 waits to go back to work switching cars in and out of the truck terminal. |

Many Medford residents recognize this model of the McAndrews overpass.
Jay built it from blueprints of the actual bridge. In the background
is the Republic Carloading and Distributing warehouse and loading docks.
Jay scratch built many of the truck models and custom painted most of the
rest. He also built and wired the numerous overhead lights on this module.
Since the P&E has beeen backdated to the 1965-1975 era and the McAndrews overpass didn't exist then, visitors to the layout in 2000 will instead see a grade crossing next to the truck terminal. Also, Jay is building a new, older looking building for the truck terminal. |

Another of Jay's modeling efforts include Rogue Produce and Cold Storage,
and of course, more trucks and trailers.
The SD-9's in the forground were custom painted and weathered by Roger Watkins and featured in an article on locomotive painting in Model Railroader a few years ago. |
