Weekend at the Movies 12/27/2013

Thanks, Jeff, for your efforts and diligence with this thread all year! Here's my contribution: another from the National Capital Trackers at the B&O Museum yesterday morning.

Great videos guys! I'll second Bill's thank you to Jeffrey!

Last time I was at the B &O museum, before the roof collapse, only remember a fairly large ho layout.

Bill is this something new?

Charlie, That big HO layout you remember was a casualty of the roof collapse, and need for full handicapped access as reconstruction took place. It had been located on a floor that there was no way to make handicap-accessible at reasonable cost. The museum has a replacement HO layout in a former C&O coach. The Holiday Festival of Trains is a special event, and several train clubs set up in the roundhouse during the Holiday Season. The National Capital Trackers have been setting up for several years, and this year the dates are 12-22 through 12-29. Other displays are from MTH trains, the Baltimore N-Trak club, Baltimore American Flyer club, and others in the past. You won't see these unless you visit during the Holiday Season.

What are you doing this weekend? How about a road trip to Baltimore? LOL

Hours Saturday are 10-4, Sunday 11-4.

Here's video of the HO layout in the C&O coach that Bill is referring to. I took it during a road trip to Baltimore a few years ago. What a great place for trains, both big and little.

Very nice automation setup.

Thank you for the comprehensive update on the B & O Museum.

Going to plan on a trip late spring. Like to include dinner at one of the outstanding inner harbor restaurants.

Mark,

Thanks for posting the enjoyable ho video. They did a terrific job on this.

It is entertaining as well as educational.
