MYSTIC & OBLIVION
Mystic and Oblivion Is an N scale layout based on Midwestern USA. The setting for this layout is imaginary, but the place names are real. Somewhere in the south west corner of South Dakota in the USA, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy RR operated from the Deadwood mines and timber industries, to the main line between Omaha and Billings.
The line went through Mystic Tunnel and then by Lake Oblivion, the Niobrara River, Berne and Edgemont, to West Yard. The double track at the lower level is the Main Line. The branch interchange track climbs up to Berne and ends at Deadwood. This upper track can be operated as loop if required.
It was built over some four years by WMRC Members and was first exhibited in 2008. One of the design concepts of this relatively large layout was to demonstrate how N scale can be realistically set into a scenic ‘Big Picture’.
