The Old Layout - The Juniata Valley Railroad
My layout is featured in OGR Magazine, Run 240, on a four page article. It's not a very big layout, but it is the way I want it to be. I don't have lots of M.T.H. engines, mostly Lionel from old starter sets. We normally get William's engines since they run good and aren't loaded down with lots of electronics. Really, the only M.T.H. engine I have is an old Pennsylvania S2 Turbine. The only reason I bought it is because I have always wanted an M.T.H. and it only costed 75 bucks! A lot of my items are from train shows especially cars. I have one man that I buy from, he gives me a good deal on all of the items he's selling. Oh, by the way, the name of my layout is the Juniata (June-e-ata) Valley Railroad. You may be wondering why I put in that little pronunciation thing. Well, it is because lots of people say the name wrong. They say it like Jaunita, instead of Juniata. But I have gotten used to it.
