O-Gauge Model Railroad: Layout Photos
Passenger train pulled by Pennsylvania T-1 locomotive passes Frankford Junction. Notice '35 and '36 Fords parked in the Junction's lot. And the Caterpillar earth mover. PRR Aerotrain crosses trestle at top of photo.
In 2006, I purchased a set of five MTH Congressional-style cars in ribbed silver with Tuscan stripe and 'Pennsylvania' in gold letters. These are pulled by the Tuscan GG-1 locomotive. In the close-up (lower photo), seated people can be seen through the coach windows.
Lighted billboard advertises the Pennsy's Congressional Limited express passenger train.
Milwaukee Road Hiawatha is arriving at Union Station platform on lower level. Note the PTC Brill trolley in background as it passes a silver Chrysler Airflow and gray Lincoln Continental. The 1:48 scale diner sign on the lower level of the train layout pays homage to the real sign on Frankford Avenue in Philadelphia.
The layout's Mayfair Diner versus the real thing: the one on the layout is topped with an animated neon sign. The layout features hot rods in the parking lot; the actual parking lot in Northeast Philly is filled with somewhat more ... ummmm ... pedestrian vehicles. In 2008, the diner was updated with silhouettes and Venetian blinds in the windows.
