Paston Valley refers to the whole area
around Paston, which is roughly the same as the
real-world Moorefield, WV. The
most productive coal mines are located at the base of the hills rising to the
west of town. Paston
has a few industries as well, and with plenty of flat land the main line fans
out to three tracks – one passing siding and one “hole” for the mine turns
which need time to switch the mines.

Paston Valley is the deepest scene on the
layout, with three feet of depth. The
mainline snakes its way through with plenty of foreground and background,
affording several good viewing angles.
There is a loop which links up the mines to the main, which in steam
days permitted mine turns without proceeding on to Sunnyvale.
