About the SLS
Construction of the Saint Louis Southern started in the winter of 2001 and the layout in progress was on a tour at the Gateway 2001 NMRA national convention.
This double-deck free-lance layout features selected "scenes" along two routes: St. Louis to Texarkana and St. Louis to New Orleans.
