The WC&SRR Photo Gallery

This page is a work in progress and currently has very little "structure".  As time goes by... I will put some order to it.

The B&O/WC&SRR roundhouse has 12 stalls with many open storage and servicing tracks.

Larson Equipment: A DPM Kit.

The LLK Icing Company platform is in the main yard area.

The DCC Chief and Booster are from Tony's. The Power Supply cases are from Loy's Toys.

This view shows the entire contol center: DCC stuff and the computer that runs WinLock and the PR-1 decoder programmer.

The B&O Station at Glendale. (Scratch-built) The Henley Cafe (scratch-built) (now the Iron Horse Inn) is in the background.

B&O Station in Glendale with the Century Inn (scratch-built) in the background.

The Clark Station in Hamilton, Ohio.

Ruth's Pie Shop In Hamilton. (Named after my Mother-In-Law... I ain't no dummy!)

Harper's Liquor Warehouse in Hamilton, Ohio. If it really existed I would probably spend a lot of my "allowance" there.

Harper's Liquor Warehouse in Hamilton, Ohio. This is a RLW kit and was very trickey to build.

Holly's Hash House: Named after my first girlfriend. Hidden below the viaduct, it might be saying something about the food.

Koldas Ice Company: I actually knew a guy in Cleveland named Koldas but the only ice he handled was in his Manhattans.

Pearl's Diner: Pearl and Flo used to whip up a mean Western Omelet.

The Section House in Hamilton: Color compliments of the WWII vintage barracks at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.

Earl Smallshaw's Tenement House: One of the all-time coolest kits in N-Scale.

Texaco Station: "You can trust the man that wears the star."

Work crew in the Hamilton Siding area.

Yoho Salvage: Named after a buddy that could actually have scrapped no less than 33 cars here!

Yoho Salvage: Where 1971 Dodge Magnums go to die!

Hidden trackage and staging. 3 tracks each direction plus East and West mains. Storage track in the foreground is the only flex-track on the layout.

State Paper in Lindenwald: A great industry for switching.

State Paper in Lindenwald: Four separate buildings.

State Paper in Lindenwald:

You guessed it! This is where just about everything is born.

The B&O freight terminal and Longworth Hall are raised (tiered) above the city for better viewing. The layout is only 18" deep here.

Meet me in front of the bank and we'll go over to the hotel for lunch.

Most towns in the 50's probably had a small theater in the "entertainment" district.

The Blue Note patio is a great place to kick back with a cold "brewski" and watch the trains rumble by.

My new brother-in-law loves donuts. He is not a cop.

The Spring Grove entertainment district.

What was Timothy Leary doing in 1958? Maybe he was a druggist! This will soon be changed to a Rexall Drug store.

Mom's Cafe: A view from Spring Grove Avenue.

Mom's Cafe: Having a little roof maintenance done.

Mom's Cafe: What better place to eat! I can almost see what is going on in there.

Mom's Cafe: A closeup of the roofers and look... they're all working!

Osherhoff's Widgets: (Scratch-built) I had a few square inches to fill here.

Passion Pit Drive-In: What child of the 50's and 60's does not remember this?

Red Goose Shoes: My only "night" shot.

Spring Grove Avenue looking South.

A work crew on Spring Grove Avenue.

Entering Stockton from the North.

Ajax Coal: Real original name, I know. Actually there isn't a coal mine within 150 miles of Stockton.

Ajax Coal: There is a mirror under the coal tower. Many visitors actually think the track goes on into the next room (and there isn't one!)

The "Cut" at the south end of Stockton.

Stockton Inn: This is the Bar Mills "Idaho Hotel" kit. It weathered great!

Stockton Inn: I think I need to phony in a backdrop here.

I am told that Gus's is actually in Versailles, Ohio. I really don't care... my siste-in-law named it.

Looking across SR127 at gus's from Sue's Slop Shop. More about Sue's coming up.

Sue's Slop Shop: Named in honor of my sister. It is actually the Swanson Lunch Counter kit from Bar Mills. Thanks, Art!

Sue's Slop Shop: Did you remember to pack your Rolaids?

Sue's Slop Shop: Notice the folks from the tour bus lined up at the privy. (the sound module I installed here is very "nasty".)

The Trenton Trestle is a scale 310' long and 93' high. At this point the layout is only 6" deep!!!

The Trenton Trestle is scratch-built from over 1,000 individual pieces of basswood!

The Trenton Trestle: There appears to be some activity below the falls.

Yes, the clouds are "faked" in.

Entering Wyoming from the North.

The end island south of Wyoming gave me an excuse for some serious rock casting.

The as yet unnamed hotel at Wyoming.

Another view of the unnamed hotel at Wyoming.

The old Mobilgas station in Wyoming. Remember these?

The Wyoming Rockmill is weathered with Dull-Kote, baking soda and rust powders. Sounds strange but looks great!

Another view of the rock mill. There may be a magazine article in there somewhere.

A view of the Wyoming Tunnel. The hillside is 98% Super Trees.

Another view of the Wyoming Tunnel. The addition of a few dead trees and fallen limbs make this scene.

The last look you get of the Wyoming Tunnel.
