Scenes from an HO model of the New River Division of the Virginian Railway set in 1954. This layout has now joined the ranks of fallen flag model railroads.

  • Fantastic layout - I've followed the progress on the webpage for some time. The radio broadcast is interesting, but personally I found it distracting when trying to enjoy the trains themselves. Otherwise, very smooth trackwork and train motion. Looking forward to the next layout in the round house.

  • The radio broadcast is a recreation. I used it to cover the random conversation going on in the room during the operating session. The conversation is even more distracting.

  • Correct.

  • you want to weather that?

  • Was curious what did they use to make the rail look like jointed rail? the rail joints? who makes em?

  • Great layout!  For those not liking the radio broadcast, just turn the sound off!

  • @teddybeareleventeen

    In fact, Ross made two high-quality CDs with 1950s music and a retired radio personality announcing. One has popular music and the second has country music. I installed a CD player in a period radio case and played one of these "programs" in the crew lounge during each operating session.

  • A great video and some VERY nice trains! I agree with most people saying that the radio broadcast was distracting. Maybe some music from the 'VIRGINIAN' era might have been suitable? Just a thought, but overall a great video! Thanks for sharing this with us! Thumbs up!

  • The radio broadcast is a nice touch!

  • Great Layout! I found the radio broadcast to be distracting and annoying.

  • Wow this is awesome video I like how you re-enacted with the radio broadcast

  • jeeez these models are truly beautiful

  • that is a cool layout---i know the VGN used a lot of huge articulated steam locomotives and some of them were strictly monsters!!! Just imagine if the VGN existed today--GE Dash 9-40C's, AC4400's and AC6000's!!!! Have to throw in a few SD-90MACS and SD-70MAC's too.
