McClelland's V&O is on the move

The V&O was really my inspiration for the A&A. at least it is still staying in existance after the movement. (most of it)

 

Pat,
Did I miss something ? Did you move the layout ?? Have you dismantled it ?? Fill me in if you will!! Happy Modeling!!

noonoo, no, allen McClelland (the founder of the V&O) is moving HIS layout, as described in the link. His layout inspired my A&A., just a correction (my fault )

 

Interesting point.The new V&O will start where the current one ends.Sounds like a neat way to continue your railroad to me.

golly, have you guys even went to the link yet?? he's only oving, not redoing the whole layout

 

Pat,according to the write up in MR Allen is building a new V&O layout starting where this one ended.

 

where does it say that???

 

Sorry Pat...I was very confused by the first post. Now that I understand, I have looked at the link. Now that I have looked at the link, I have made the connection. I think it is cool that after so many years of running one of the most famous model railroads (the V&O is has articles back into the 70s as I remember)that a) McLelland is willing to move it and b) that part of it will be put in a museum. Not many modelers will ever get that honor.
Catt is right about the new layout. In the latest MR article (which I cannot find at the moment, but will get you the reference on) McLelland plans on a new railroad that picks up where the old one ends. Happy Modeling!!

now I know that you guys were talking about. I haven't subscribed to MR for about 1 year so I could save for ther New N scale layout. My last subcription was the 2nd article about Tony Koester's new Nickel Plate.

 

It is actually a really good article. I think they are moving to a new house, as I recall, and so he decided it was time to build a new layout. I'm still looking for the article...when you have two teenagers and a four-year-old nothing is EVER where you think it is! Happy Modeling!
