Scott,

Is that layout open to the public during museum hours? Looks very well done and would like to see in person one day.

It's open only for special events. The clubs meet on Tuesday evening. Here is the O-gauge layout. There's an HO and a N Scale layout as well.

A few pics.....more later...

I am redesigning my 18' of modular space.

A 2016 Christmas layout memory

Last week I started with images of the 4th season on the layout - Fall/Halloween.  I stumbled upon the images shown here - I only had 2 derailments the entire Christmas season - as Murphy's law would have it look where both occurred!!!  See the last picture for an overall perspective of the wrecks.  It took me quite a while to clear them up.

Cool souvenir. That's going to look great in your train room!!!

It's a truck which has been made into a locomotive.
It's used to push locomotives over the wheel grinder at the remains of Enola Yard.

                                        the making of a rail "wienermobile"........

                                               got the snack car to go with it......

Seen at the 2017 Orlando NMRA convention.  All train guys need one of these.

                           kinda like not having enough room for a layout......

                                                               in REAL LIFE......

Here's a shot taken just east of Port Royal PA circa 1950's...

Nice photos folks- thank you for sharing.

While working on signal wiring, I ran a few engines that hadn't been out for a while.  Here's a favorite of mine, a MTH-Rail King B&P GP9.  I really like the engine sounds and horn on this little geep. 

Eventually the area to the right will be filled with a steep hillside, and the tracks will be in a deep cut.  All the better for the labored sound climbing the grade.

Looks great Anthony!

P&LE #1384..................

There is always action in your photos.  Makes for a lot of realism.

That's my buddy Dave's unique truck! 

Here's a couple of fairly accurate Virginian cabooses.

The steel one on the left is a repainted Weaver brass N&W caboose, the wooden one on the right was scratchbuilt by OGR's own Brother Love.
