The 1909 Boston & Maine HO scale museum layout size is 14’x33’, including the staging area. Uses DCC (NCE) and Freiwald Train Controller software to automatically run up to six trains following realistic schedules. The 54” high layout features photo backdrops, elaborate realistic scenery, with generous scenery to track ratio for a life-like viewing experience. The structures are scratch-built, based on historic photographs and B&M documentation, with highly detailed scenes depicting life at the turn of the century. The layout is housed in a restored 1875 B&M freight house, with other railroad, model railroad, and industry displays, including a late 1950s vintage operating Lionel O-gauge layout.
Note: Heritage Park Railroad Museum also has full size equipment on display; 1902 Russell Snowplow, 1950s era B&M caboose, B&M wooden water tower, and a restored 1911 B&M passenger station.
