CS&M (Carisle, Schuetzville, & Monett) Railroad

Glen & Sherry Carlisle
Monett, MO

The CS&M is a narrow gage railroad set in the early 1900's. It hauls freight and passengers through a mountainous region.
The mainline is a folded loop running on 260 ft of track with several sidings. Glens desire was to create a layout that him and his grandson could switch a few cars around the local business, or set back and enjoy a cold drink under a very large shade tree, and watch the trains going around the outside loop. Glen desired to have the trains disappear and reappear somewhere else, by the means of tunnels or mountains, or the vast amount of plant growth.
If you like plants, you will enjoy the CS&M railroad. Most of the locomotives and rolling stock is Bachman, with most all of them being weathered. The structures are all mostly scratch built.
