PRR : HO Scale Layout

HO Scale Layout

This portable layout is made up of 10 modules designed so that 2 modules bolt together face to face for ease of carrying. Each module measures 1.2 meters by 0.76 meters (48 inches by 30 inches). Each module's construction is the same - wooden frame filled with rigid foam sheets. Most of the scenery is foam covered with plaster soaked paper. The average weight of each module is 16 Kilos (35 pounds). In 2005, 2 new small modules were add to the inside as a staging yard.

Module 1

One of our members is adding cars to the coal train. Module 1 is the very first module seen, with the curves on it.

Module 2

Track weaves around itself on Module 2. Module 2 acts as a small yard for storing rolling stock between runs

Module 3

The station and engine facilities are on Module 3, making this area of the layout very busy.

Module 4

On the upper deck of Module 4 is the Power Plan. Coal loads go into the plant, while empty hoppers all pulled out of the plant.

Module 5

The Pine Ridge River passes through the center of Module 5, forcing the railroad to use bridges to get over it.

Module 6

This new industry dominates the landscape of Module 7. Formally a second turntable was on this land.

Module 7

The second station and a tavern are on Module 7. Here a steam engine waits for orders to proceed.

Module 8

The upper deck engine facility is located on Module 8. Here you can see Pine Ridge Engine #425 passing on the mainline

Module 9

Kids playing in the creek is a interesting sight on Module 9. However, most people prefer watching trains from the wooden overpass.

Module 10

Here are rows of hoppers waiting to be picked up after being loaded at the mine on Module 10. Trussler Mine is a scratchbuilt industry, built by one of our late members.
