Storage Yard
This is the HO scale layout we brought from the Crossroads Mall to the basement of the Virginia Museum of Transportation back in 2005. It had to be cut apart and reassembled, but since it was in the early stages of construction there was little scenery applied to it yet. It has come a long way since then.
The latest modification has been the addition of a storage yard behind the scenery backdrop to keep the club rolling stock while members are running what they bring in.
This layout is a folded figure eight with a branch line, and was originally loosely based on a fictional merger of the Norfolk and Western, Chesapeake and Ohio, and Virginian Railways. It was given the name of Chesapeake and Western (C&W). Built in eight sections, it is completely DCC controlled.
I worked on this layout during its development stage, and in the moving, reassembling, and finishing the track work. After that I contributed time to the scenery work while also working on the N scale layout in another room.
