Wolf Run is a freelance model loosely based on the Alaska Railroad. Many, many years ago I had an HO layout that my dad and I built in our basement. Through the years I remained fascinated by model railroading but other interests occupied my time. Several years ago I began collecting N scale rolling stock. At the time I was a dog musher living outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. I wanted to be able to actually RUN the locos I had collected. I had a shed that I used for cooking fish for the dogs during winter, but it was unused in the summer. So each summer I would set up a sheet of plywood and play with my trains through the long summer nights. Lacking space for a permanent layout, I decided that some sort of snap track was the ticket. I chose Kato track for several reasons - it has integrated roadbed, there is no visible switch motor for the turnouts and there is a wide assortment of different radii and other track pieces available. A couple of years ago I sold my kennel, retired from mushing and moved to California and began fantasizing about my Dream Layout.
