Description:
The Kab Fourword Railroad is a model Trainz layout running through mountainous terrain with bridges, trestles, tunnels, track running along rock ledges, sharp curves and steep grades.
The railroad could be set in the Rocky Mountains or other similar regions. It could be part of a transcontinental route. Because of the locomotive depot and classification yard it could be a Division point between the plains and the mountains. It could, in the days of steam, be the stamping ground of the Southern Pacific Cab Forward locomotives.
The railroad could be a short line railroad, serving logging (log camp, dry sort yard, log dump and sawmill), mines (coal mine, ore mine, coal and ore transfer ports) and a work shop that provides equipment for the logging and mining industries. It is also connected to other railroads by a railroad ferry barge.
The layout is on multiple levels. It can be operated as an out and back or as a continuous loop. On the upper level there is also a dumbbell loop for continuous running. The ferry barge can be used as a fiddle / staging yard where the player can remove and add locomotives and freight cars during the game.
