Well, back to the Knowledge Park Shortline. The plan is to have two trains circling around Section 1 of the N scale layout -- around downtown Rock Hill -- as well as two trains running back and forth the whole length of Sections 2 and 3, combined. Since Section 3 is not completed, for the time being there is only one train on Section 2. It runs to one end, triggers a limit switch, waits about 45 seconds, and reverses path to another limit switch. The "large loop" around downtown RH is operational, but limited to short train for the moment. Both active trains can be seen with sharp eyes! Currently, they are set on "Dr. Pepper" time: 10, 2, and 4!!!!
The second downtown loop has had a couple of wires severed so is not operational until SOMEone crawls underneath the layout to replace the wires. . . .
In addition to the KP Shortline, representing Rock Hill in 1953, additional area history is noted by a display of the Anderson automobile and buggy just across the hallway from the KP Shortline. In about 1920, Rock Hill was the "Detroit of the South" making high end cars in 5 or 6 colors -- not just black.
The automobile factory was the successor of the Anderson Buggy works.
