Welcome aboard!

Welcome to Jim and Mona Duncan's GM&O Eastern Division, an HO model railroad depicting the GM&O in Illinois in the early 1960's. The railroad features an 800-foot mainline on a continuous-spiral design consisting of four decks.

The railroad is designed for prototype operations and uses ProTrak (http://www.protrak.cc/) for car forwarding. The railroad operates under CTC authority over the middle half of the railroad with the adjoining sections running under timetable and train-order operation.

Operating sessions are generally held once each month, more frequently during the winter months. We welcome visitors and people new to operations at any time!
