DOES ANYONE HAVE AN O GAUGE CIVIL WAR ERA LAYOUT?

Not an 1860's era layout.  But I have used 54mm ACW figures on my layouts over the years:

There's a reenactment going on in the top right corner on this 2010 set up.  Sorry, no better photos exist but it was 2 lines with a fence between and a few artillery pieces crammed in for good measure.  If you look close between the Suburban Station and the yellow AF boxcar you may spot Lee on Traveler.  There's also the parade near Independence Hall and the cannon, mortars and men on the flatcars.

Tracker Bernie G. has a Manassas Battlefield scene he sets up for special Tracker layouts. You may have seen it at York in October!

I am collecting Civil War Era trains. The cars I am building myself from plastic. That HO based magazine had an article and plans for Civil War Era equipment. 

I have one scale loco right now. A no name brand Winans 0-8-0 loco. It was advertised by SMR but by the time it came to market it was sold as a no name. Nice loco.

I may not make a Civil War era layout  but will have a Civil War memorial train run once in a while. 

Not exactly, but the Misty Moutain RR has several attributes. The gentleman, from memory, I think his name is Charles Griffin, a native Georgian who I believe has roots that went back to the antebellum days, made sure to have several key buildings on his layout from historic and antebellum Georgia, as well as the theater where Gone with the Wind premiered.   I think part of his layout also features the rail route where Yankee "plainclothes" soldiers hijacked a Southern train to attempt to sabotage the rails - I think there are some civil war historical event vignettes too.  I believe Mr. Griffin welcomes people daily to see this amazing layout too. 

By the way, if I were to model this era, I would do either Atlanta or New Orleans.  Atlanta because it was the nerve center of the railroad supply lifeblood of the South and Georgia was under siege for a long, long spell, with Gen. Joe Johnston (probably the greatest tactician of the era) protecting the rails/Atlanta for this very reason - so there is much railroad related historical significance.  New Orleans because I heard the tales from grandma how her mother and other women were throwing pots of boiling water and oil off the balconies in the French Quarter down on Yankee soldiers, as they marched in.  Also, it was the terminal point for the bourbon trade coming down the river from Louisville. Finally, it was also a very historic rail hub during the war, so vignettes would be incredibly interesting and lively.

I have thought about a CW layout many times but a good one would be difficult to do. Lots of scratch building.  The Federal line from City Point along the Fed lines outside of Petersburg would be a good one. You could have fun with a burned bridge, an ambushed train  and a supply train. Most buildings were made of wood planks so you would need a lot of coffee stirrers.
