Model Railroading > Ken McCorry's awesome PRR layoutDate: 11/24/14 05:24 Ken McCorry's awesome PRR layout Author: brfriedm So I only got out to one Model RR for openshouse this weekend but it was a great one. Ken McCorry's huge and awesome HO PRR layout. Ken models the Buffalo line PRR 1956-1957. The layout is probably 95% sceniced and as you will see, the scenery is magnificent. Layout has 1600 freight cars and 200 engines in service. Layout has 10,000 feet of track and about a 1500' main line run. Layout is about 56'X 112' in size and sits in a custom built building. It may be the largest privately owned layout in the US.
I have had the honor of operating this layout and it can take easily 2 hours to make a run with a train during operating sessions. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving. Bruce http://www.modelrailroadopenhouse.com/ Picture of the dipatcher's area on the 1st floor. Layout is on the 2nd floor. It takes 3 dispatchers to run the layout and 30 folks to run a full session. Layout is fully signaled and is DCC. Also a picture of the building that was custom built for the layout. A beautiful building also.

Great pictures! Date: 11/24/14 08:11 Re: Ken McCorry's awesome PRR layout Author: SteamTrainJunkie Fantastic layout, thanks for sharing,
