Welcome To The Port Kelsey Railway!
My Port Kelsey Railway is a double deck, point-to-point operating layout, or at least it will be eventually….
Named for my late grandfather, W.C. Kelsey, and the source for its inspiration. Born in Brockville Ontario, my grandfather spent his life as an inventor, a machinist, a cheese maker, a boilermaker, and too many other talents to mention. I spent many of my formative years working with him, and attribute my work ethic and creative abilities to being his young apprentice of life.
Starting in 1992, a small module was built measuring 2? X 10? using a combination of a published track plan and a freelance design. This piece was completed about 4 years later. The “original module”, as it has become to be known, features hand laid #4 code 70 turnouts (the hard way, before I had the fixtures), a Soundtraxx DC throttle, some scratch built and kit built structures and a fully matrixed control panel driving home built slow motion switch machines.
