     Description: 

       The Marysville module consists of one 6’ long by 30” wide module.  Its purpose is to form the center of the “Pennsy Corner” on our HO Modular layout, between Jim Spavins’ Rockville Corner Module (Which connects to his Rockville Bridge and Stu Dom’s Yard), and the corner module which forms the end of Me and Dad’s new “DeLany” yard.  The track plan consists of the two main line tracks, as well as the third inside track, which serves as the yard lead between Stu’s Yard and the DeLany yard.  The most important feature of this module is the crossovers, which allow access to both main line tracks from the yard lead, allowing trains to enter and exit the DeLany Yard.  This makes the yard double ended, instead of the stub end yard used on most modular layouts.

     From a scenery perspective, the module forms a scenic link between the DeLany Yard, and the rural Rockville Corner and Rockville Bridge.  Main features include a road which runs from front to rear of the module on a bridge over the tracks, with a large warehouse (The Centennial Modules Marysville PA Outlet Store) on the right side of the module, and a road leading to the autorack unloading facility located on the Delany Yard Corner on the left.  It will also feature a detention basin, which outlets to a stream running under the mainline tracks on the left side of the module, and a wooded area along the rear of the module.  A classic Pennsy Signal bridge will guard the crossovers, and a small knoll along the front of the module will provide some elevation for aesthetics.
