4DPNR Superintendent Russ Segner presented MMR Certificate #562 at Chuck’s recent layout open house in Olympia. Congratulations, Chuck!

Chuck’s railroad is the Sherwood, Shelton, & Sarazen Railway set in the early 1900’s on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. It occupies two downstairs rooms (11 X 20 ft. and 13.5 X 13.5 ft.) with staging in the Operators Lounge and Dispatch Office. This fictional short line features a car float, operating train order semaphores, water tanks, a log dump, and a lime rock dump. This is a well done layout with many logging and waterfront scenes including a saw mill with interior detail. It is routinely operated with a dedicated dispatcher using timetable & train order operations (TT/TO), phone communications, and car cards.
