1957 N&W Model Train Layout

[NW Modeling List]

I first saw the layout in the late 50s when it came to Huntington, WV 
for the annual model train show.  It was ahead of its time with the 
detail on it.  In looking at the pictures I recognize some of the kits 
that were used on it.  The plans for the station and the freight house 
were published in MR as well.  I think the station is based on Fort 
Royal, VA and the freight station may be Roanoke.  The locomotives were 
PFM brass imports.
