For the HO-layout, members are framing the layout using a modified L-girder structure previously used on portions of the club's previous HO layout at 111 Grand Avenue.

The distinctive wooden trestle that had become such an identifying feature of the previous layout was salvaged when that layout was demolished, and will become a central focus of the new layout. Portions of the new layout had to be planned around the trestle, which will now be part of a logging branch line rather than the mainline.

Portions of the layout will run through holes in the walls, enabling complete separation of scenic elements. The new layout will also have a large staging yard, hidden from the view of visitors, where club members can prepare trains before sending them out onto the mainline.
