The Strasburg Railroad in HO Scale - A Traveling Model Train Layout

The Strasburg Model Railroad Club is a group that models the Strasburg Railroad in multiple different scales. Their flagship layout is a modular HO scale layout that travels around to different events in eastern Pennsylvania. We caught up with the layout while it was on display for a weekend at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg itself.

We see steam locomotives 89, 90, and 475 going about their duties on the miniature Road to Paradise, with special appearances from 44 Tonner number 33, Norfolk & Western 611, and Thomas the Tank Engine. We will watch the comings and goings on the railroad, then hop 'aboard' for a narrated ride behind locomotive #475.

The layout is certainly worht seeing if you have the opportunity. To find out more about the club and where the layout will be displayed next, visit their Facebook page found here:   / strasburgmodelrailroadnj

Just for the record, the 'ghost whistle' was done in the editing process and the on-board narration is my own twist on the narration given during the actual rides on the Strasburg Railroad.
