Tom Baughman’s railroads are impressive.

One thing that he and I have in common is that we have two model railroads. But since this discussion is posted in the HONGZ Forum and mine are O gauge, I won’t go into detail. Each of mine took me five years to complete.

The larger one, completed in 2004, is 12’ by 8’ and can be run with three trains at a time. The smaller one, completed in 2019, is 10’ by 5’ and models a single-track New England branchline. It appeared on the cover of O Gauge Railroading Magazine Run 304 (February/March 2019).

The 10’-by-5’ layout was a retirement project. I didn’t want to expand or dismantle the 12’-by-8’ layout so I started from scratch and built the newer railroad on the other side of the basement about ten feet away. It is modular and was designed to be easily transportable.

Overviews of the layouts shown below.
