Belmont Shore Model RR Club – N Gauge
On a business trip to California I videotaped the Belmont Shore Model RR Club and Bill Colemans home layout. I videotaped the Belmont Shore Model RR Club on a Sunday morning, hours before boarding a flight back to New York. My favorite memories of this layout are the physical size, which is quite huge for any N Gauge layout, The recreation of the Tehachapi Loop & a beautiful model of a cement industry, located in the high desert.
Bill Coleman – N Gauge
I arrived after sunset, and met Bill, his wife and his niece and nephew? Check data. Bills layout is in the 1st bay of a 3 Car Garage. Our TV sequence starts with the opening of the garage doors, car, car and then train layout. Bill was the second person to introduce us to ‘DCC’ control in N-Gauge.
Brett - LGB Christmas at Rock Lane - Show #53
Timeless Hobbies - www.TimelessHobbies.com
On a business trip to Naperville Illinois I was fortunate to meet the folks at Timeless Hobbies in Wheaton, I had missed the big train show that was last weekend, but I was rewarded ten times over with a few experiences that will last many lifetimes. Timeless Hobbies helped me meet The Midwest Railroad Modelers, The O Gauge High Railers and The Little Q Railroad.
Midwest Railroad Modelers - HO Scale
They had lost their lease after 20 years, and this was the last 2-3 weeks that this railroad would be in existence. It was located above a pharmacy/drugstore. I couldn’t get in the front door, so I walked up 3 ‘outside’ flights of stairs, that was more of an emergency rear exit. I banged on the door. Steve Sweitzer answered the door, I introduced myself, and Steve knew of our TV show and was from Farmingdale, New York. What was more ironic? Steve was a member of the West Island Model RR Club located in Farmingdale, which we had covered in an earlier show. Ray was the guest speaker on this segment. This HO layout was very large, or I should say very, very large. The scenery was fantastic and what makes this layout unique is the way they controlled the trains. Someone in the club had designed a radio controled power supply system that could be worn on a belt and equipped the blocks of the railroad with selectors for the various controllers they designed. This was certainly an impressive display of ingenuity.The Midwest High Railers – O Scale
This was the first club we met saw a portable ‘O Gauge’ layout (Lionel). We had seen N, HO & G Gauge portable layouts, but this was the first time we saw an ‘O Gauge’ layout. Hobbies Unlimited supplied the space, next to the ahd ed setup in a room adjacent to the store Hobbytime.Little-Q Railroad - HO Scale - Aurora Illinois - Official Website
This layout is located in a recreation building and protected from the publics access when not in operation by 2 sliding doors that are reminiscent of box car railroad doors. Besides having a very interesting layout, the trolley line was quite memorable.
I did visit "The Little-Q Railroad" in Aurora, IL. The Little-Q railroad is an example of what "america is all about!". The ability to have the cooperation of a 'local recreation center' and within feet of 12" to the foot mainline railroad. Aurora should be very proud of this!
Inside this Aurora Rec Center, the railroad is hidden behind 2 large 'sliding doors' that are decorated with RR signs. See our intro on the video! You can't miss the HO 'Trolley Line', it is right up front! It works flawlessly too. The ''Cab Control Units" were cool, you sit in them like a real diesel, now if they only smoked? mmm....
What really makes the railroad [In any club] are the members, and the hospitality was superb.
Thank you all! And George, thanks for loaning me your map!
Great South Bay Model RR Club - Freeport, New YorkTrainmasters of Babylon - O Gauge
2004 Update
This layout is under re-construction
The club has moved from their basement location to a ground floor location behind
Bakers on Route 109 Just past Cablevision Store on the rightThe Model Railroading Educational Foundation - HO
This club has been defunct since ??? need date?
This commentary is based on the layout when it was located in Mineola, New York
This was the first time we experienced a ‘sit in the control cab and run the layout’. Most of the main line was controlled from a cab where 4-5 engineers can sit. A wide glass panel window and control panel is spread out in front of them.This layout was dismantled in the spring of 199? and our video is an archive of some of their greatest work. The Georges Gorge Bridge and Snow Shed are some nice features. One of the best shots we got was a club member raising an access hatch and viewing the layout through the hatch.
West Island Model Railroad Club - HO Scale - Farmingdale, New York
This layout is probably one of the largest we have visited. Multiple blocks and selectable walkarounds are in use here. Besides the overall size of the layout, the size of the yards and long graceful curves, the details that adorn this layout are first-class.Places of interest on the layout are: Nancy and Nicks, factory which must be seen and the ironworks factory. I really enjoyed the small girder bridge, and most people like the large arched bridge.
Central Operating Lines - O Gauge - Smithtown, New York
Jeff and Luke Carnett – HO - Massachusetts
We met Jeff and Luke through a model train store in Metuchen, MA.
I had stopped in to a hobby show and met Jeff and his buddy Chris. They invited me to an operating session that was being held at Bill Borelli’s house in O Scale. I visited Jeff and Lukes layout early Saturday morning before heading for home. which filled more than 75% of his basement. The dispatch panel is magnificent, and they had a phenominal sound system..Bill Borelli – O Scale - Methuen, Massachusetts
This layout surrounds the entire basement, runs around the perimeter and then some. There are a number of unique features that set this layout apart from others. First of all, how many layouts in the world are ‘O Scale’, and with hand laid track? The person who was running dispatch this night is a real dispacther. The contollers are an infrared detector system that works remarkably well. The operating sessions are based on dispatching trains in real time, via a fast clock. (Note: This is where I got my inspiration to build my own fast clock, see Fastclocks.)Citicorp Center – New York City – Holiday Layout
This layout was designed by Clark Dunham of Dunham Studios. A railroad enthusiast contacted me and put us in touch with Clark. He gave us a personal interview on opening day of the layout 1997. He has received numerous awards for his scenery and set design and his creativity show in the model railroads he builds. This layout is constructed upstate New York in sections and transported in two tractor trailers to New York City. The modules are bolted together on location. When it is in town, the exhibit is free and located in the Citicorp Building on 53rd street.Grumman Model Railroad - Ray Muntz
This club should get an award for having a layout that has had to be moved more times 'from building to building' more than any other layout in the United States. When I had met them the layout was in a building that was not on Grummans major property and was easily accessible by guests and the public. Inj 1997 they had to move the railroad for the ??? time and it was relocated on ‘secure Grumman property’ which requires special permission for access. The most memorable portion of this layout was the hand made turnouts, which were still under construction the last time we had visited them.Steve Lincoln – G Scale, Long Island, New York
One of the best ways to appreciate Steve’s house is in the evening hours after the sun has set. Steve created a robot that is located in the front yard to greet guests. A push button panel accompanies this creation and allows passing guests to control certain aspects of the robot. The front yard has many other attractions, and colorful lighting sets this house apart from any other in the neighborhood. The attractions outside are just a tease as to what you will find inside.Inside, Steve has built a G gauge railroad that runs on shelves that are aprox 6’ off the ground. The train goes from room to room, through ‘tunnel portals’. A wireless remote control allows you to walk and follow the train from room to room. Before we go outside to the back deck, a visit to the ‘movie theatre’ should not be missed. The movie theatre has ‘real movie seats’ a popcorn and nachos machine and full candy counter. The projection screen is approximately 10 feet wide.
On the back deck is another G Gauge layout that is independent of the one inside. Trains run on the side of the back deck and then a spur branches off and runs around the rear deck railing to the end where it automatically reverses for the return trip.
N-Trak – N Scale
Brett and I started to attend train shows, and at a ‘Greenberg Show’ at Hofstra University we learned about the N-Trak club of Long Island. The N-Trak people setup a layout for a day or two at events that are sponsored by other organizations. Church’s, temples, public schools, libraries and train shows are where you would see them. Most of the members have a ‘train module’, that is designed around a world-wide standard which allows people from anywhere on the globe to meet and run trains with other people and create a layout of any size, which is determined by the number of modules.Another nice feature of this club is the openness of the members in accepting virtually any age member as long as they act responsibly. You don’t have to own a module, or a train, you can be a ‘tower operator’ <a person who controls trains on a section of the layout>. There are 3 main lines that run around the perimeter of the layout, and they are divided into controllable sections called blocks.
Big E Train Show
Springfield, Massacusetts
We had never been to a very large train show, and this was going to be a big one. Besides having an opportunity to meet other N-Trakers, this show had every train scale imaginable but was alos located next to a 1’Full Size’ 1:1 rail yard in Springfield, Massachusetts.
One of the N-Trak people we met was Ernie Poole. We also met, Debbie Ames from TTT Trains and1995
Neils N-Gauging Trains – N Gauge - Switching Layout
Brett was 4 when the Big A show started and over the weekend (which was his birthday) he turned 5. Brett was allowed to participate in a ‘switching layout contest ’ that was sponsored by Neils N-Gauging Trains. Neil purchased a sheet of plywood, placed it on a bed in a ‘hospitality suite’ at a local motel, and setup a KATO – N Gauge switching layout. The adults treated Brett like a peer, and watched patiently as Brett sent his train through the switching layout. While Bretts time was one of the longest, he was allowed to participate like any other person, and we appreciate the way he was treated.Ernie Poole – N Scale - Massachusetts
We met Ernie at the Amherst Model Train Show in Springfield Massachusetts. Ernie is a member of www.Ntrak.org. We visited Ernie’s N Scale layout in his home in Massachussetts. His basement lighting is very bright and his layout is very neat.Nassau Lionel Operating Engineers – O Gauge- Levittown, New York
This layout is located in the basement of the ‘Medical Arts Building’, located at the West Village Green in Levittown, New York. Spectators walk around the perimeter of the layout. The curves are long and wide. Memorable items on the layout are: An animated scene of a young boy flying a ‘u-control’ plane, a automobile showroom with a rotating automobile in the window and A very large passenger terminal. As you walk around the layout The entire layout is easy to see!Tom Coyne – HO
I met Tom when I lived in Connecticut, and Tom taught me a very important lesson, never teach a model railroader how to fly radio control aircraft. Tom had an entire basement dedicated to his train layout which took 7 engineers and 1 dispatcher to operate efficiently. A dispatcher would tell each person what train to make up, and then a timetable would be adhered to, dropping of f and picking up various loads at different locations. Tom was interested in the hobby that I was, which was R/C Planes, and Tom asked if I would like a student. (Tom was a school principal). To keep the story short, I taught Tom how to fly, and he decided to take his railroad down to make room for his new planes. I will never teach another railroader how to fly! Note: I met Tom 10 years later at the Big A and found out that he started another railroad. It just goes to show you that model railroaders will always come back to the hobby! I was very happy to hear that.Tom Gleave – HO
Tom was the first person we met through our TV show. Tom had contacted us and expressed how much he enjoyed out cable TV show. He invited us to shoot his railroad which was under construction, before he could finish this layout he had to move. Purchasing a new home will allow him to create a layout that will far surpass what he originally designed for his ‘small apartment layout’. Tom showed us some videos of his earlier layouts with ‘hand painted’ scenery that was done by his girlfriend Angela, who is now his wife. We will be visiting Toms layout in the near future and share some of his handiwork with you.Bill Collins - HO
We met Bill through Keith and Tom. Keith wanted to establish a ‘round -robin club’, that would go to each persons house on a rotating basis. I was to busy at the time, and didn’t have enough space in Bretts Bedroom where his N-Gauge was setup.Wrong Island Railroad – O Gauge
At the dollhouse junction in Lake Ronkonkoma, New York we met Frank Gscheidle. Frank has assembled quite an impressive O Gauge Layout besides the collectable model trains that are on display in glass cabinets along the layout.Keith Denton – HO - Ecstacy and Frustration
We met Keith through our train show. Keith has a basement HO layout in addition to a ‘Live Steamer’. What makes Keiths layout different from most of the others is the Z shape with no duck unders.

Bob Gatland – NTrak Module
Bob was featured on our very first cable TV show. We met Bob through the N-Trak Model RR Club of Long Island. He is a very active member and produces the newsletter for the club. Bob was working on a ‘bridge module’ that is quite different than the standard modules we were used to seeing. It is a four foot module with 2 – 2 foot extensions making it 8’ in length. Bob must have been tired of bringing his 8’ yards to the shows, and wanted something different. Besides the bridge itself a really cool feature is the 'pneumatic' (air) controlled turnouts. His home workshop is quite compact and also contains a small shelf railroad for testing.7/96

David Levene – N Scale
David is dedicated to detailing N Scale engines and rolling stock. His work is ipecable and he has received many awards. He likes to model more than actual train operations, and does not have a permanent layout. He sets up KATO Unitrack in his basement and canbe running in hours. When family events come into play, takedown is rather quick.November 1996

Runnin Trains ’96 Convention - Alexandria, Virginia
Runnin trains ’96 was the largest convention (at the time) that we have ever attended that was dedicated to N-Gauge railroading, and particularly NTrak.It was reported that over 240 N-Trak modules were brought by convention attendees. The outstanding feature of this event was the size of the layout, which would later be heralded as the Largest N-Trak Layout ever created. Because of a hotel error which booked the convention site for a chess tournament at the same time as the N-Trak convention, the hotel had to come up with a plan to accommodate The largest accessible area which was nearby was the parking garage, adjacent to the hotel. To make this location usable the hotel ‘temporarily walled off’ the garage, carpeted it, changed the garage lighting to ‘white lighting’ instead of the ‘yellow sodium vapor style’.
June 1996
Bald Hill Central Railroad - O Gauge
This layout is now defunct. We are sad that it is no longer in operation but we are glad that we were able to videotape it before it was taken down. A few of the highlights were the miniature 'Vietnam Veterans Memorial' located on Long Island and the incredibly beautiful painted backdrop.

David is dedicated to detailing N Scale engines and rolling stock. His work is impeccable and he has received many awards.

Bill Dooley – High Island Railroad - HO
Bill Dooley of the High Island Railroad was the first train enthusiast I had met on Long Island. Periodically we meet with him and see his railroad, and this was before we started the show. His HO layout consumes ¾ of his basement. What makes this layout unique is a manually operated train bridge that traverses the layout from one side of the basement to the other. Built in power interlocks prevent oncoming trains from running over the edge. A ‘Dooley’ designed alignment system allows accurate track alignment every time the bridge is raised and lowered.
October 1995
N-Trak – N-Scale
At a ‘Greenberg Show’ Hofstra University we learned about the N-Trak club of Long Island. The N-Trak group sets up a layout for a day or two at events that are sponsored by other organizations. Church’s, temples, public schools, libraries, recreation centers are where you would see them. Most of the members have a ‘train module’, that is designed around a world-wide standard which allows people from anywhere on the globe to meet and run trains with other people and create a layout of any size, which is determined only by the number of modules available. Another nice feature of this club is the openness of the members in accepting virtually any age member as long as they act responsibly. You don’t have to own a module, or trains, you can be a ‘tower operator’ (a person who controls trains on a section of the layout). There are 3 main lines that run around the perimeter of the layout, and they are divided into controllable sections called blocks. Contact our local N-Trak Club here on Long Island in New York.

Long Island Live Steamers
Long Island Live Steamers
One of Long Island’s best kept secrets, is the Long Island Live Steamers, that operate in Southaven Park, Shirley New York. Club members operate scale steam, electric and gas trains that can actually support full size people. Rides are technically free, but a ‘ticket donation’ is requested. The ‘steam-up bay’ is where everyone stages their trains, fuel them, fire them, and transport them via a ‘transfer table’ to the staging line of the layout. A turntable nearby is used to access stored engines and rolling stock, that are located in a roundhouse and trailer.We have been videotaping the Long Island Live Steamers since 1996
In July 2002
We visited them on a work day, they were fixing a turnout located near the crossover.
