2007 LAYOUT AT B&O MUSEUM PAGE 8 - AMERICAN FLYER LAYOUT

[home]

CHRISTMAS LAYOUT - this is a separate layout, yes, it's S Scale, with a new type of track and lots of store-purchased Christmas decorations.

The large modular layout uses American Flyer track, Plasticville buildings, and as you will see, lots of action accessories.

Although the track has that tinplate look, many of the engines and cars are very nicely proportioned models.

Here at the sawmill, a log is guided into the blade, while the black machinery over-head loads pieces of cut lumber into the car.

This forklift shuttles around the building, fetching barrels and dumping them into the gondola car.  I hope those are sturdy barrels or else there might be a chemical spill!

The barrels move up the vibrating loading ramp, the gate opens, and most of them drop into the railcar.  A lot of them end up on the ground instead.

Bill pulls a car from the train.  He's also a member of our club and will be running G scale trains with us later this month.

There are four types of crossing signals in this view, all working, including the wigwam on the left.

The Disney Monorail glides through the Contemporary Hotel.  The lighting is very impressive, and looks better as the room darkens.

This Ferris Wheel is built from a Gilbert Erector set.
