Impressive scenery. I like all his residential areas and the fact they don't look too cramped

Cool internet video. Unfortunately this layout may be taken apart. I read its owner died recently.

My post from 2023 from another thread.


After we left Hamburg Pennsylvania Frank drove me to his friend's house in Allentown Pennsylvania.
Beautiful basement layout in HO scale. About 70 percent scenery completed.





































More photos later.

HO scale layout that can be run as a continuous loop or point to point.
Movable small sections to work around the layout without bending down.

I love the tilted rock layer on the Anna railroad. That is so typical of the Ridge and Valley of which the anthracite region is a part. This is something I'd love to model on my new layout when it gets that far. I also notice he is a fellow user of TruScale wooden roadbed. Good stuff!
