The Reading & Lehigh is a free-lanced N-scale model railroad, set in 1951-1952. The in-universe history of the layout, is that the Reading Railroad and Lehigh Valley Railroad merged during World War 2, in order to survive. The Reading was the dominant partner: the Reading had the eagerness for expansion and the corporate know-how, while the Valley had a wider footprint and an outlet to the Great Lakes. The layout is located in the DC-metropolitan area (MD), and is two-levels, and a quasi-third level under the main, which just helps expand the running distance of the main line.

Attending the The Great Scale Model Train Show in Timonium on Saturday was awesome. Got to connect with so many railroading friends, who came from far and wide!

Here is me with the CEO of the Indian Valley Railroad . We've been FB friends for a long time, but hadn't met in person till yesterday.

As I often say: the best part of this hobby is the friends and fellowship!

This old school UP articulated is barely doing any work, with only one inspection car in tow. While not a challenger, she could certainly pull more than the average engine!

I think this was on the Ft Meade modular layout, at Timonium yesterday.

Big Blue! One for the Conrail fans out there. A pair of Uboats and a long string of ore, with a caboose at the end.

Check out this neat little Maintenance of Way contraption, all the way from germany. It is a power unit as well as a trailer, upon which to put ties. Apparently, the operator told me these were very common back in the 1970s.

Seen today at Timonium
