Photos of John's Fabulous HO layout that features three railroads in a "coal country" setting.
This 22 X 26 foot HO model railroad is fully scenicked and displays many scratchbuilt buildings and scenes for which John has won many awards. He is a Master Model Railroader (MMR 449) and his layout reflects his outstanding craftsmanship. He usually runs the layout with a dozen or so operators using car cards. Many scenes are based on real-life locations in West Virginia and the time period modelled is the '50s so both steam and diesels intermingle.
The primary railroads are the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Virginian. The third railroad, a branchline, is the Waubaushene Central. Control is with Digitrax DCC. Signals are operated manually as operators enter and depart their sections.
