Railroad Hobby Show
It’s almost that time of year again – time for the largest train show in New England: the Amherst Railway Society Railroad Hobby Show at the Big E Fairgrounds in West Springfield, MA. Once again, the Mohegan Pequot Model Railroad Club will be displaying three modular layouts in the Young Building during the show on Jan. 28-29, 2012.
This year, the club’s HO and G scale modular layouts will be joined by a new O scale layout. This layout, named the Wood River Branch, will fill an area 12′ x 16′ and feature modern short line railroading in southern New England. You can see an overview of the new O scale layout on its own website at www.woodriverbranch.com.
In addition to the new O scale layout, the HO layout will see some new additions. Several personal modules have been added to the 42′ x 72′ modular layout with scenes such as a railroad museum, the famed Woodlawn flyover, a tank car repair facility, as well as a few other surprises completing the layout.
The layouts will be set up in the middle of the Young Building. Make sure you stop by and say hi. We look forward to seeing you at the show!
