@Fireball RR posted:@MELGAR Love the pics and videos of your layouts, thank you for sharing. I saw your 10x5 layout in O Gauge Railroading magazine a couple of years back. Was the 12X8 featured at some point as well? Starting a 12'X9' O gauge layout and would love to read more about your 12X8.
Fireball RR,
Thanks. I was a professional engineer for almost five decades. But these two model railroads have given me the most satisfaction of anything I've ever done and I'm grateful to OGR Magazine for having published articles about them.
An article about the 12'-by-8' layout was published in the April/May 2006 issue of OGR Magazine Run 214 (Volume 19 - Issue 6).
The article about the 10'-by-5' layout was published in the February/March 2019 issue of OGR Magazine Run 304 (Volume 49 - Issue 2).
I'm also attaching a more recent video of my MTH Premier PRR G-5s #5740 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler steam locomotive model (with PS1) running on the 12'-by-8' layout. At one time, PRR G-5s #5741 was leased to the Long Island Rail Road. The numbers are close enough for me.
