Snowbirds in Action on my Lehigh Valley Model Railroad

Chasing a freight train led by three snowbirds on my home N scale layout.

Just incredible as always Ron! I’m so grateful to have stayed an N Scaler for many years and your layout is one of the all time best!

Nice to see two of my favorite fallen flags... the CB&Q and The Green Bay & Western. Thanks for sharing.

Great layout, great detail on it. 7 members of my family worked on the Lehigh Valley railroad out of Coxton yard near Pittston where my late father & paternal grandparents grew up there. I remember not only the Snowbird locomotives, also the Cornell red Alco PA1's, Alco FA1's, the yellojackets as well. Used to watch many freights of the Lehigh Valley, Erie Lackawanna & the Delaware & Hudson when I would visit Pittston during the 1960's.

Thank you! Much of my layout scenery was inspired by the Lehigh Valley between Coxton and Lehighton. The era is set between 1968 and the end of the L.V. In 1976.

Hi, I’m a huge fan!

[@ronpapiercavich8415]

Hello, Thanks!

[@rogerarchibald2627]

The level of detail and realism for an N scale layout is the best I've ever seen. In fact I'll say that even if it was an HO layout. Plus I'm a LV fan and the "snowbirds" have always been favorites!

[@ronpapiercavich8415]

Thanks so much!!

[@TouchoftheBrushModelWeathering]

Very nice. Hard to believe it’s n scale.

[@ronpapiercavich8415]

Thanks!!

[@Twisted-Steel-sd40-2]

Is this dc or dcc powered?

[@ronpapiercavich8415]

Dc block controlled with Aristo-Craft wireless throttles.

[@Twisted-Steel-sd40-2]

@@ronpapiercavich8415 So the trains are radio controlled?

[@ronpapiercavich8415]

Yes.
