Layout Tour: Phil Gasiewicz's HO Scale Layout

Welcome to PhilVille! This layout tour covers Phil Gasiewicz's gorgeous HO scale layout. Phil's layout fills a large room designed for the layout. The layout is "complete" in that it is fully operational and fully sceniced. Phil doesn't model any particular line or locality, but does favor NYC, Pennsy, Bessemer, and other Northwestern PA railroads. There is an expansive urban scene, very well detailed and lighted. Phil has added a plethora of details to the layout- it is extremely fun to walk around and study all the various well detailed scenes. In addition, he is very good at lighting, and the entire layout comes to life at "night"- the lighting effects are extremely well done.

So sit back and enjoy the layout, scenery, lighting and the trains!

We would like to thank Phil, and his lovely wife Beth, for their extremely gracious hospitality! It was a wonderful day of trains, new friends- and some great food! (Beth's Coffee Cake was OUTSTANDING!) Thanks again!!
