tocan, no this is acutally a O scale layout. Engines are MTH Centipedes, X-29's are by Atlas O, Baggage cars are by Weaver and MTH, and the milk cars are Lionel and Atlas

Hello! Just received the new magazine from MR *Realistic Reliable Track* The railroad is amazing to see and since I am considering a shelf type layout your article came along at a good time. I like your attention to detail and will include many of your ideas to my own layout.

Thanks Josh. Kinda makes me wonder where my promised advanced copy is!

I wish someone made the "Centipedes" in N. Nice train. Where does the middle start and end?

[prrmiddledivision]

The Middle Division runs from just west of Harrisburg to Altoona PA.

Beautiful railroad! I remember seeing the railroad in one of the publications some time ago if i remember right that is! I was impressed with the track plan, etc! Hope you continue to post more vids!

Thank you...appreciate your comments. It was in Model Railroad Planning 2007. And yes, I hope to post more videos in the future.

Would that train still be part of a passenger schedule even though it's a mail train? I saw the combine in there.

Nice representation but..wouldn't a PRR mail train have either a cabin car or rider coach on the rear?

@prrmiddledivision Hello again! Would sure enjoy seeing some updates! I think you have one of the nicest layouts! By the way, my family and I have been traveling over your way weekly since Dec. We take my grandson to the childrens hospital! I am not use to all of the traffic but am adjusting somewhat finally.

*wow* I ordered my copy a long time ago and it came via mail this past Friday or Sat. It took me 3 trys for MR to get a check to renew my MR subscription though. Now whether it is our mailing system or them that kept screwing up, i don't know. Good luck!!!
