Description

In the attic of his home, John B. Payne Junior has a 400-foot track, 27-switch, scale model railroad. One of the sections is modeled after the Texas and Pacific Railway Station in Fort Worth, Texas. The scene depicts the depot, railroad yards, switchman's tower, and the residential district. Mr. Payne even pasted the skyline of Fort Worth on the wall in the background.
