POW/MIA YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

Johnny as you can see by my board name that the Western Maryland is my all time favorite road.  I missed Run 258 so I have to get a copy.  What really interest me on your layout are the passenger cars.  Who did them for you?  As a kid back in the 50's I rode them quite a few times back and forth from Baltimore to Thomas W.Va.  I was fortunate enough to ride in the Wild Mary Locos and cabosses a few times because my grand dad was an engineer for the WM.  If it's not too trouble could you e-mail me a few photos of them.  It would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

I much enjoyed the article and was happy for you having such a handsome treasure to play with.

These additional photos are a treat, too, helping to further describe the breadth and very pleasant particulars of your layout. Congratulations on all counts!

Thanks killian and Frank for your comments. 

Wild mary, the passenger cars were made by MTH several years ago.  I was able to see the observation car at the Pennsylvania railroad museum in Strausburg  a few years ago.  Before moving to Pennsylvania, I resided in Thurmont, Maryland, where the Western Maryland use to come through.  A short line named the Maryland Midland runs on those rails now.

Here are a few other shots of these cars:

I saw that. Well done layout! I, too, have a liking for the railroads that were in my area- B&O, Pennsy, Western Maryland, Chessie, etc (I went to the college that was named for the railroad, until they changed it to McDaniel).

Love It!

Thank's for sharing.

I can see why they are some of "your favorites"!!!!!

Nicely done article too.

I enjoyed reading the article the other day, congratulations on a nice feature.  It looks as though, with the attractive display shelves along your back wall, that you have a really nice-looking train room there.  Have fun!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.  Alex, I am planning on doing a video.  Don't know when I'll be posting.

I enjoyed readinga about your layout, very cool how you have the nice finish work/white beadboard around the layout. It is like a fine piece of furniture.
