Today is the last day for the National Capital Trackers modular layout at Baltimore's B&O Railroad Museum. It has been lots of fun, and neat to meet some fellow OGR Members. Here's some shots from yesterday. First, I guess I should post my modules. One features the small depot of Buford. The other has the Heavy Equipment Dealership. All wooden structures made by my late father-in-law, Floyd Howes. Buford is a small Wyoming spot on Sherman Hill.

No, Dominic. this is a special modular display just for the Holiday Festival of Trains. The figure-of-eight layout pretty much fills the turntable in the roundhouse. The layout built by the B&O Railroad, in the 1950's, was HO and was a casualty of the roundhouse roof collapse in 1993. it was not damaged in the collapse per se, but the resultant ADA requirements of the re-build required its removal. A replacement HO layout is in a former C&O "Imperial Salon" coach in the back yard, and is quite nice.
