Excellent!!!!!

Looks great!  Custom built coal mine?

I've always liked coal mine models but this is a work of art. Beautiful job Will.

Many thanks! I only own it and conceived it. George Lasley built it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

All nine coal topples on the Duckunder were custom built by George Lasley. Each one is modeled on actual mines seven by the N&W in West Virginia. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Will:

 

Have you ever posted a diagram of your layout?  How big is your setup?

 

By the way, it looks great!

Love the 0-8-0!  And the red-painted bell interior is a keeper! as well as the brass nameplate on the boiler front.

 

I'd love to see more pics of the layout, too!

 

ok, I lied... I watched the video.  Great!

 

I'd like to see more of the train shed.

 

Thanks,

My layout is a 25' X 40' room and takes up about half the space.  Because the layout's shape is asymmetrical, it is hard to say exactly how much space.

 

There are two distinct parts of the layout: (1) the mainline and branch line, and (2) the terminal areas and yards meant to represent Norfolk at one end Portsmouth, Ohio at the other using a common throat and receiving tracks.  I'll try to find a drawing of it.

 

Thanks, 

Mario,

 

Thanks for your comments.  I think you mean the videos of my original layout.

Wait! The old layout? Ok, now you've got my attention.

Excellent work.

USRA 0-8-0's and 0-6-0's are good looking engines except when a high mounted headlite leaves a plain smokebox front. Thus the addition of the numberplate.  The loco still needs its final weathering of black soot and cinders.

I had a gigantic layout that covered the entire 25 X 40 room, and I made a lot of videos of that layout posted to Vimeo.  That's probably what you saw, as I haven't made any videos of the current layout.  I took the old layout out a few years ago and built a new one that is thematically different and incorporates many of the lessons I learned from the big layout (too many to list here).  This layout focuses on the N&W coal country railroading up to about 1960.

Thank you, Matt.
