| FALLSTON SNOW - After a snowstorm in early 2004, an Accucraft K-27 and its train negotiate the high trestle on Dick and Judy's layout in Fallston, Maryland. Their home (as well as this trestle) was built on the former roadbed of the historic Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad. Inside the house is a ceiling-mounted railroad where two trains can run independently on single track, using automatically con-trolled switches and sidings. |

| HIGH AND DRY - the Orient Express runs along the walls in Walt and Marie's recreation room. The track is mounted on a nicely finished and stained shelf up near the ceiling where it's out of the way. At one spot it tunnels through the wall behind the fireplace. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
