Virginia Southwestern - 2
Building the Virginia
Southwestern
Techniques used to build a large layout ...
M
y original layout, The
Louisville & Nashville RR
Thornhill Division, was
built loosely following L&N proto-
type practices. I paid only minimal
attention the operational aspects of
the prototype and model railroad operations. I want my mod-
els to be creditable and believable, so as my modeling interests
moved towards more specific model scenes and prototypical
operations, I became less satisfied with my existing layout.
This scene is on the middle deck at Mills Gap, on John
Wilke’s HO scale Virginia Southern layout.
