Great layout of the Lehigh Valley railroad that Ralph DeBlasi built & operates. I’m very impressed with it. 7 members of my family worked for the Lehigh Valley railroad out of Coxton Yard. My great grandfather Stephen Kearney I was an engineer for them, 4 grand uncles & 2 second cousins all worked for the Lehigh Valley railroad from about 1868 up to when it became Conrail in 1976. I’m an N scale model railroader & my. N scale model railroad is the Pacific West Coast railroad. My layout will focus on the West Coast of North America that will focus from 1974 to the present from Tijuana, Baja California Norte, Mexico to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada & it will focus on the railroads that have served & service the West Coast.
With all our talks Ralph, that tour was unexpected. What an influential tour it was. Thanks for the post it was fantastic. Oh and thanks to Ron for making it so.
Wow! i was blown away by the first pictures and then when you started moving around the room my jaw drop. What a ( like you said ) BEAUTIFUL LAYOUT!! Love that CTC panel!!! Thank you Ralph for allowing you Ron to videotape it, and thank you Ron for sharing this gem with us You Tubers. Wow!!! RT
What a great layout. I"m always drawn to the LV RR, having been a passenger on the Black Diamond and the Maple Leaf. Saw many a freight move in and out of Allentown and Bethlehem
This was the west end of the board located in Sayre PA. I worked this board on Thursday nights. The west end is in this clip--but the board ran from Manchester NY to Coxton PA. It was too much for just one man to handle it.
