I have always loved his layout! First saw it on vhs when I was about 8 years old in a TM Books and Video Lionel movie, im now 34 and still love this hobby.
This was easily one of the best hi-rail layouts ever made, especially with that sublime catenary system. I met with Bob LaVessi of the NYSoME, who helped design the catenary, before COVID and told me the layout is no more, which is a real shame.
I remember I first saw this in Part 5 of TM’s “Great Toy Train Layouts of America” It’s nice to see that Ron and Walt’s masterpiece is still going strong to this day.
It’s great to see Ron and his layout are still around! I had a VHS tape when I was a kid, called “America’s best model trains” that featured him and I’ve just recently showed it to my son for the first time.
This Is One Of The Legendary Layouts, Thanks For The Indepth Look At This One, What Makes Me Feel Good Watching This Was The Bonds Of Fellowship That This Hobby Fosters. I Hope Ron Is Well, Hate To Hear That Walt Has Passed On.
detailed but without the clutter you see on so many layouts-love the conventional operation-a very good job!
I see he changed out the ZWs he had for MTH ones.

Came here to tell the exact same story, I damn near wore that thing out as a kid.
I had that same VHS assuming the vhs I had was the exact same as yours.
Nice to see an updated video it was first featured in 1992

Wonder if Ron has a Carter's Little River Mills somewhere?

Awesome layout. Does anybody knows the actual size? Thanks in advance if so
I see he replaced his ZW transformers with MTH ones. I also like how he took an N scale train and made it into a park train.
Wow
Where can you get engines like West Maryland no. 6?
