MODULAR LAYOUT AT THE B&O MUSEUM

NOVEMBER 26, 2004

[day two]

REALLY LARGE SCALE - The mighty C&O 2-6-6-6 Allegheny, one of the largest locomotives ever built, poses in front of the 1884 Roundhouse.  Our club layout is located behind those two windows directly behind the engine.

MASON DIXON LARGE SCALE - Slightly smaller than the Allegheny pictured above is our Thomas the Tank Engine and train circling Wolverton Mountain under the huge roundhouse roof.  A few minutes before, we had a family tell us that we had it wrong.  Annie must be behind the engine, facing forward, and Clarabel must be second, facing backward!!  It's the Thomas The Tank Rivet Counters Society!  We fixed it immediately.

In the shadow of the Greenbriar Cheat & Elk RR No.1 Shay locomotive, Judy and Dick are installing trees while Manny talks to the crowd.

This is Walt's garage module, featuring lights on a string, a welder, smoking chimney, and a red pickup truck that moves in and out of the garage.

Dick is installing trees on Lee's Hamilton Motors module.  Behind him is Jeff's Z scale "Gar-den Railroad in Miniature" module and windmill.  Notice how nice the new skirting looks!

SMALL SCALE - On Jeff's module, a young man is flying a model airplane while a B&O passenger train passes by on the miniature garden railroad.  Behind the house is a working turntable and roundhouse. The "garden railroad" is actually Z scale.
