Welcome to the Sweetwater District,

My version of the Baird Subdivision on the Texas & Pacific.


I hope to update the text and photos as the project develops. I am interested in all ideas and comments for it is my belief that not everything done by committee is bad.

The basic concept of this layout follows the operational practices and traffic flow of the Western Division of the Texas and Pacific Railroad around 1945 through 1952 when the last steam left the Texas and Pacific.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read all of my ramblings. I hope it made some sense. I would appreciate your comments. The Welcome Matt is out......
