Dave Vollmer's N Scale PRR Tour

Take a tour of the 36"x80" N Scale PRR! The layout is based on a fictional segment of the Pennsylvania Railroad's Middle Division between Harrisburg and Altoona, PA, in July 1956. The layout is operated with Digitrax DCC. Music is by Hans Zimmer, from the Simpsons Movie soundtrack.

is this layout made on foam?

[vollmerdp]

@WhyAyeMann It's foam laminated onto a hollow-core door.

I must know, what is your steam loco? I love it. :)

[vollmerdp]

@rsera1 That's a home-built PRR class H10sb.

Fantastic work! I love that "almost HO" look. Your weathering and great attention to detail makes everything look larger, the trains seem to have "weight" and "heft". Your steamers look sweet!

Love the Hans Zimmer soundtrack. Very Aaron Copland (especially the beginning) and G. Gershwin inspired, the geniuses who invented "that" American orchestral sound. Will check your web site agan. Keep up the inspiring work! Awesome!

Any idea where I can get Pennsy style signals for N scale like these? Also a Pennsy style N scale signal bridge? I cant find them anywhere!

Your layout has inspired mine. I'm also building on a 36x80 door and I'm running 1 main around the door taking the widest turns possible so I can run an Amtrak superliner in addition to my CSX freight.

Awsome layout, I'm from Bluefield WV and it really does remind me of home each time I look at it. I have an amazing atlas layout that I am having troulbe wiring, well the wiring is in place I am just having trouble connecting it. Anyways I love this layout, thanks for the inspiration.
