Greetings all,

There is a wonderful Model RR Club in Stamford CT, USA that has an awsome 'O' Gauge layout. It's located in the basement of a church right in the downtown area of the city. It's been going since 1939. They open it to the general public once a year. This past Saturday was this year's opening. Here are some of the pictures I took.

From their own description: "features an amazing display of over 6,000 feet of trackage, 13 railroad stations, 11 railroad yards and 1,700 railroad engines and rolling stock".

The diesel model looks to be the ALCO PA 1

The painting is the electric GE EP-5
