Beautiful HO Scale Model Train Layout at the Wilmington Railroad Museum

Large and Beautiful HO Scale Model Train Layout at the Wilmington Railroad Museum. Craftsmanship and attention to detail make this layout a marvel. Based on images and history of railroading in the coastal areas of North Carolina, the model is set in the transition years between steam and diesel early in the 1950s. Double mainline tracks carry passenger and freight trains, sawmills and lumber yards are served by a branch line, trolleys are operating in the re-creations of Wilson and Wilmington, and shuttles haul loads to a powerhouse or switchyards. A few details about the layout, along with conversions to real-size equivalents, where applicable. Layout area: 750 sq. ft. Scenic highlight: Re-creation of ACL Wilmington freight and passenger terminal area and surrounding buildings as they were in the 1950s Length of dual mainline: 286 ft. (4.72 scale miles) Total installed track: 1200 ft. (19.80 scale miles) Viewing perimeter: 198 ft.
