Our story:
Bruce Elliott Railroad Slides Inc/Pocahontas County Society of Model engineers is an ongoing production of my father's and my personal railroad photographs. Their are well over15,000 photos to work with and to date I offer 14 different CD's with probably no less than another dozen to go, given time to do so. In October 2016 a book was released on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's Pitts
burgh Division through Arcadia Press. This book was written by Bruce Elliott, and features photos from his Pittsburgh Div. The book sells for $20.00 with a signature and $23.00 without. Contact us for your copy now! The Pocahontas County Society of Model Engineers is my personal model railroad that resides here on the property, and was started in 2014. The Piedmont Division of the B&O is a unique venture in promoting rail transportation in the early ‘50s via the medium of Model Railroading in HO scale. As a result of the many years spent photographing the B&O in 12 of the 13 states in which it operated, and a life long interest in model railroading, the layout showcases five locations from around the system a they appeared in the early ‘50s, right down to correct railroad structures and rolling stock, as well as vehicles. All of this is the result of three decades of research of the locations which include: Point of Rocks, Md., Fairmont, W. Va., Patterson Creek, W. Va., Garrett, Pa., and Somerset, Pa. The town of Point of Rocks is complete as is the locomotive facilities at Fairmont. The rest of the layout is under construction (but operating). Visitors are welcome but we do ask that you call ahead to see if I’m going to be home. We can be reached at: 304-456-5389 (leave a message) or at the train building at: 304-456-5480.
