Dec 2006 Boscov's Display, Pg 1/2

 

Both the modules and the club are constantly changing. The photos on this page are among the most recent photos available. Most were taken at the Dec 2006 display at Boscov's in the Susquehanna Valley Mall in Selinsgrove, Pa. Old photos are in the archives section.

 

Photo 1 - Here's where a train display begins -- with a bulging van stuffed full of trains. The use of this van is donated to the club by a generous member.

 

Photo 2 - It's always amazing that they can keep track of what looks like a bizillion different parts and pieces; rail joiners, screws, hookup wires, signs, etc etc etc. It's even more amazing that they can get it all assembled and running in one morning.

 

Photo 3 - Looking at the front of the layout. The red hopper car in the upper right just in front of the camera, is 1/12 scale. On the floor are 2 largescale loops, G gauge (LGB size, nominally 1/24 scale).

Trains in the following sizes can be found on this layout

  • 1/12" scale
  • Largescale (nominally 1/24 scale) on the floor
  • O gauge (1/48 scale,Lionel size) -- just above th eLoose ties sign
  • S gauge (1/64 scale, American Flyer size) -- on the next level above the O gauge
  • HO gauge (1/87 scale) -- in the center behind the American Flyer
  • N gauge (1/187 scale) -- behind the HO layout (not visible in this photo)
  • Z gauge (1/220 scale) -- on top of the HO mountain

Photo 4 - Looking at the front of the layout, a little closer. The 2 tracks just above the blue "loose Ties" sign are O gauge (Lionel size, 1/48 scale). The 2 tracks on the next level up -- crossing the Santa Fe bridge -- are 2 S gauge tracks (American Flyer size, 1/64 scale)
