At the April 98 Timonium show, 3 new modules debut.
The Largest, and most significant in terms of operation is Al Wachter's Maryland Junction module.  This two section module features wider radius curves over the original, allowing more advanced steam power to traverse the layout.

Better lighting is needed to capture this mamoth 75 car
coal drag powered by 3 F7A's on the front and two
more cut in 35 cars back.  The rear of the train has not
yet cleared Maryland Juction over 60' away as
the head end prepares to go under Sudbrook Lane.

another module to the east end.  Here we see a westbound
