Roger Travis' Great Eastern | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

I had this site marked from way back in rec.model.railroads. I always enjoyed this railroad, as it fit into a 16x12 foot space. Once again, there are a lot of great design elements here, lots of switching, staging, and great proto-ops.

Roger dismantled his old layout in 2010, and is in the process of building another layout that I'm sure will be even better.

I also love what Roger does with off the shelf Bachmann and Proto2000 steam. Tender bashes, added detail on the locomotives, and it makes for a different appearance and unique motive power for the Great Eastern, with the exception of his 2-10-2s, which have a CN / CV look to them (which I really like).

Here is a layout plan of his old layout:

Here are some teaser shots:

You can find additional photos of Roger's old layout at these two sites:

Enjoy.
