Averta test only HO Scale Freelance Pennsylvania Railroad Layout

A freelance version of the Pennsylvania Railroad is the theme of this club sized HO masterpiece. Set in the summertime of the mid-1950's, this layout showcases the thriving steel, oil refining, logging, and coal mining industries, that were so prevalent in the period. Pennsylvania Railroad notable prototypes such as the Crestline roundhouse, and viaducts emulating PRR's Rockville Viaduct and the Erie RR Starrucca Viaduct, are featured historic highlights.

Fully programmable computer control complements the DCC and prototypical signal system providing for completely automatic train operation --- truly a delight for the high-tech savvy train enthusiast.

Engineered and built to the highest standards, exceeding museum quality, this one-of-a-kind model railroad layout more than achieves our client's vision.

Here's a second gallery of images from this layout, this time of the super-detailed industries and countryside.

Roundhouse - The round house is a replica of the Pennsylvania Railroad Roundhouse in Crestline, Ohio. Selective compression reduced the more than 180 degrees that the original has, but the character and unique style of this structure is still intact.

Steel Industry - This layout's extensive steel industry includes a customized Blast Furnace with glowing molten metal in the distribution troughs as well as other detailed support buildings.
