Photos of Philly's 0 scale RR in the old B&O station??

Are you referring to the original 1930s B&O outside 3rd rail display layout that eventually wound up in Cincinatti Gas & Electric Co?

Per Wikipedia , the remnants of the O scale layout belong to the Cherry Valley O scale club and is housed at a church in Merchantville N.J. I know that some of their members are active on the forum and will add additional info .  Jim 

The Cherry Valley Club is a full operational 2 rail layout with beautiful catenary.  NOT a remnant!  The railroad has been undergoing a complete rebuild for several years now.

The CV layout is a metamorphic stage of the Philly B&O layout effort  (no connection with the traveling B&O layout). 

Many of the folks and much of the equipment were relocated to Merchantville NJ prior to the fire which destroyed the terminal.  Cherry Valley's original 2 rail layout  existed for about four decades.   About sixteen years ago the present layout was  started with all new benchwork, track, wiring, controls,  etc.  A total fresh start.

Many members have changed over the years and sadly most of the original individuals are no longer with us.

My thought is to acquire and preserve as much photographic history of their very first layout in Philly.

So......pictures please.

Thanks, tt

I can remember going to the Merchantville O scale meets and visiting the original layout also there were side trips to Frank Millers O scale layout based on the Frank Ellison Delta Lines, regrettably did not take pics back then.

A couple of club members have recently been working on a section of the layout aptly named 'Wilson Junction' for the late member Kermit Wilson. The main feature of this section is a passenger station and platform that originally was part of the B&O station layout. We do have a few other items from that layout too.

Tom? Ernest? you guys have photos of your work to post?

Dear Tom(and List members),

   I will check our archives and see if we have any photos of the old Philly layout and I will make sure we put them on this thread.

  Kermit Wilson was working on restoring the passenger station at the time of his death which came over in 1962 from the old club, so we have renamed that area Wilson Junction.

I will also check with Al Small to see what he has as he was one of the original members of the CV club in Merchantville-retired from the club.

Thank you,

John

Chris, I do have early new rendition 2002 photos, 

First up is the On30 interchange section.

Then the 30th street passenger yard & station area and finally the one piece under/over bridge support.

Kermit was one of those quiet, gentle, consent souls.  Nice for him to have a tribute where he loved to be.  Thanks guys!

Tom, thanks for the photos.

Wilson junction is in a different location than the two shown in your photos. it is in the inside corner of the room's 'L' where the high line reversing loop is located.
