John Huntzinger's
Woodbridge, Occoquan & Western Rwy
November 17, 2007
Up in the northern part of Penn. that borders on Lake Erie is the town
of Albion, Pa. the railroad yard there provided the inspiration for the
yard on John's freelance HO railroad the Woodbridge, Occoquan &
Western Rwy.
I feel that the WO&W is an extremely good
example of a home layout that many of our members could aspire to. The
overall size of the layout 8.5' x 17' fits nicely in the space, bench
work is l-girder and extremely stable, track is laid on a raised road
bed and either ballasted or painted, DCC control is used making wiring
and train movement simpler, structures are in place and awaiting future
detailing and there are multiple locations to support freight
movements.
Work on the layout is progressing smoothly
with almost all the track in place, many structures are built and
positioned, and John is working on an operational scheme. Check
out the Coca-Cola syrup factory I thought it was really unique.
