Our Modules
As of October, 2011 the OVS&SS rostered 26 modules. This includes 17 straights (3' - 6' long) and 8 curves (8' outside radius). Two curve modules are required to make a 90 degree corner. All modules are 30” deep and sit 48” off the ground.
The Straights:
Every module is owned by one or more members. We have no club-owned modules. It is therefore up to each member to create their own scene on the layout. One of the highlights of the layout is the Willow Springs intermodal terminal. Modeled after Santa Fe's Willow Springs intermodal yard near downtown Chicago, IL the module features a crossover between 
the two mains, and lots of intermodal action. To see a video of Willow Springs click here
Another one of the straight modules is Chenoa. It is modeled after a junction in rural Illinois. Click here to check out a video of a train crossing the diamonds.
Tabernash, the end of a siding on the former Rio Grande, is another featured straight module.

The most common thing we hear from guests at train shows is “Wow, you've got big curves.” We really pride ourselves on our big sweeping curves. All curves are paired together as 
90 degree sections and feature an 8 foot outside radius. You can see a rolling meet on one of the curves by clicking here.
A highlight of the curves is a farm scene that includes a grain elevator and road crossing. It’s based on a scene in rural Michigan. Click here to see a video of a train passing the crossing on this curve.

New Modules:
Five straight modules are scheduled to debut in 2011. Among these will be our first depressed center module. A large grain elevator complex will be included on another set of modules.
Another recent module includes the Logan Locomotive Rebuild Facility completed in 2009. This scene was inspired by Indiana & Ohio's locomotive shop which used to be located in Logan, Ohio. Though the actual shop is no longer used, it is as busy as ever in HO scale!
A 20’ long, “L” shaped yard was also completed in 2009. It includes 7 yard tracks and is built on 2 curve modules and two 6’ straights.
