The Lone Pine and Tonopah Railroad is an HO scale, freelanced railroad that reflects Kermit Paul’s major interests—animation, lighting, and control systems. Animation is everywhere – from dancers and a flickering juke box inside the USO building and moving vehicles on Main Street, to functional cranes loading scrap metal at Lone Pine and logs at Camp 12. Not only are there theater chase lights and interior lighting for the buildings, but also dramatic nighttime lighting effects.

Dispatching during operating sessions is done from an authentic Western Pacific Railroad CTC machine which controls the fullyfunctional trackside signals. Both locomotives and rolling stock are detected via Op-Detection circuits.
