This is a Fremo-USA HO scale modular model railroad. Since the modules are less than 20 inches deep, I had to photoshop in a backdrop to get some depth.

This model is an HO scale Atlas / Kato drive RS1 lettered for Jersey Central Lines , road #7651. This diesel has MBE bell, horn and antenna castings added to the hood along with a steel air line. The underframe and trucks are painted and weathered a grimy black and the diesel has medium weathering to simulate a well used but maintained unit. Kadee #5 couplers installed front and back. This engine is DC.

This is a Custom Brass New York Central P-2A Electric Locomotive in HO scale that I bought recently. I spent this weekend repairing it. It was a basket case and was missing some parts. I still have to find a pantograph shoe for the roof to complete it, but, now it looks much better and runs very well.

It's there because somebody build it.

 

Think about it.

A few photos of a Rock Island mail train. Kenichi built the models and took the photo, I broke the photo down into areas so more detail can be seen.

The layout represents a small industrial line, somewhere in British Columbia, Canada. Featuring a small terminus station where Budd Rail Cars take passengers to work. The line has mixed freight services from both Canadian National (CN) and Canadian Pacific (CP). A small fuel terminal receives fuel tankers thanks to its track access. Cut Lumber is delivered to the Timber yard by truck and departs in mixed freight cars. The larger industrial building receives and dispatches multiple box cars.

 

We purchased the layout in 2017 as we needed a small layout that could be transported by car to exhibitions. It was named in memory of club member and former Chairman Gregor Williamson. As Gregor had an interest in Canadian Railways, we run mostly CP and CN Railroad locos and freight cars although you will see stock from railroads all over North America.

 

The club has decided to keep the layout on a longer term and completely refurbish it. This has included building a complete new board (replacing two individual sections), a full rewire, and some new scenery, along with a general overhaul of the layout.

The Monashee Pacific was a proposed railway in the 1950's that was never built. The Edmonton Model Railway Association, located at Fort Edmonton Park, has created a world where this railway exists. The level of detail is incredible, from the towns, the trains and the people, no minute detail has been omitted. There is even someone taking a crap in the woods with a bear approaching him.

 

I could have spent days photographing this incredible layout. I have only included the highlights.

As the Chessie Steam Special makes the curve past the printing plant you can see how far the front swings out as it rounds the tight radius.

A Pair of switchers take a turn on the table. They are easier to turn in pairs as they are hard wired together for better electrical pick up. These are reworked Athearn hustler models with Ernst drives.

9510, 6812 & 6375 rest at the Diesel Shop. 6812 & 6375 will get the assignment for the long freight when the D&H Challenger quit.

Railroad buffs will enjoy the Philadelphia area - if nothing else, there are tons of shops like this one selling miniature railroad stuff and vintage electric train stuff ... :-)

SWe found this covered hopper lettered RGCX 1205, very likely a cement mix hauler.
