My layout is called the Pennsylvania & Western and
runs around the walls of a 28x52 foot basement room. It is
designed so that prototype railroad operations can be duplicated.
To that end, the mainline is 5 scale miles long (550 feet) and there are
a total of 20 staging tracks (most in a separate adjoining room) to
provide a place for trains to come from and go to. Feel free to
visit my web site (http://www.pennwestrr.com/)
for much more information.

The Pennsylvania & Western recently expanded
its coal service with the addition of a new heavy freight engine, class N1s,
and a new order of hopper cars. Below are three photos of the new cars
rounding Horseshoe Curve on the way west to the mines. The quantity of cars
required a shove from a pair of I1s "snappers". The 30 drive
wheels on those 3 locos made short work of that train!
