Reading & Lehigh Railroad (N scale)
Приєднався 21 вер 2023
This channel is devoted to the Reading & Lehigh Railroad. The Reading & Lehigh (R&L) is a free-lance what-if N-scale model railroad that imagines a war-time merger of the Reading Company and Lehigh Valley railroads. The merged line also doubled down on steam-power, since they now had two sprawling workshops to maintain the engines. Management struck on a place to buy the cast-off steam from other roads at bargain basement prices, and thus could save money from converting to diesels - and also allow other roads to work the bugs out of first- and second-generation units.
The layout is set in the halcyon days of 1950, with traffic flowing and business booming. The layout models Reading, PA to Allentown, PA, and includes a 12-feet long East Penn Grade, from one level to the other, enabling pusher units!
The layout itself is located in Fort Washington, Md.

More Mallet Action on the Reading & Lehigh | N-scale Model Railroad Operations
Переглядів 432 години тому
Engineer Nathaniel Stamm had been a Reading man all his life. Indeed, he had fired on the big N-1s when they did nothing but push on the Temple Grade when he hired on in 1919 (and at 32 years on, he showed no sign of stopping). Having spent his career on the beasts, it was only right that he be at the throttle of No. 1829 on its run east from Reading. The big Mallet and its long-haul tender (th...

Video 2 - The layout of Doug Hollowbaugh is a Western Maryland layout, with a significant continuing running loop. The layout is unfinished (say about 68% done), but is very cool all the same! He was a very friendly host, too! #modelrailroadoperations #trains #hoscale #modelrailroading #modelrailway #modeltrains #model #modelrailroad

Here is a collection of clips from an operating session on Bryan Kidd's C&O layout. I love his layout, because it is mostly steam (as is mine!). There is a dispatcher, and train-phones along the line. The layout exists in three rooms, and has enough happening for a team of a dozen operators to have fun, between yard switchers, yardmasters, hostlers, helpers, and train crews. Unfortunately, he d...

Here we watch Readling & Lehigh N-1a Mallet No. 1829 bring a string of loaded coal cars down the East Penn Grade and into Reading! The R&L is a free-lanced, what-if layout that shows my vision of what it would've been like had the Reading Co. merged with the Lehigh Valley Railroad. #modelrail #modelrailroad #modeltrainlayout #nscale

Railfans got a treat today, as they were able to watch one of the R&L's newly arrived RS-3s bring a short freight transfer into Reading from Allentown Yard. All the while, in the background, big N-1a Mallet No. 1829 completed its turn on the reversing loop at the east end of the yard complex. This is from about August, 2024, as the reconstruction of the layout commences! #nscale #modelrail #mod...

Is that supposed to be the hill to Hill bridge in between Allentown and bethlehem?
It is, but in my universe, it has tracks instead of a roadway for PA 309!
Your layout is looking better, and better!
Thank you so very much - this is from before we started the rebuild of Reading Yard!
Cool 😊
Good better best
dumb dumb dumb... you never followed up on how you glued the ground cover down, nor did you ever show the final product in a subsequent video.
Perhaps instead of calling it dumb, you could have let me know I made this omission, so I could have posted it
At 00:45 and 01:55, sits my grandmother: Helen N. von Klemmer, nee Grookett - at this time, Head Nurse of the Community General Hospital in Reading, Pa. This woman was the Head of our Family, and taught my most of what I know. She helped me to appreciate history, and to love trains (helped, of course, by my grandfather, mother, and father, railfans all!). I remember when she would take me into Reading, to the hospital to get her paycheck, and we would sit at the cut that went right past the ER (behind the old Ambulance building) and watch then-Conrail trains come and go. She would lament that in her time, she saw Reading steam move more tonnage, far faster! I have a few memory flashes of this fabulous weekend: we were all there, and we had such fun. We went to the Shops and saw the night photography of the 2102 coming out from the place of its birth, backlit by the Shops' lights - you could easily believe it was 1948. The 425 sat there as well, with a sleek Tuscan red PRR E-8 nearby. Sadly, my father would be dead in 2 years, and my grandfather in 3. I lost Nan a few years ago. Why do I like trains? Because they are more than steam and steel, moving from place to place. They are living connections that transcend time, and allow to remember the friends and family we watch them with. In their smoky innards live those memories, which call forth with the sounding of the whistle. These fire breathing beats carry our memories with the freight and passengers they haul. Bless the Reading, and the Reading and Northern for allowing 2102 to live again. - A Reading Railfan
The sound was deafening, but it was awesome!!!
Its a nice looking consist, but those lifelike FA’s a great pullers, they do have pretty large weights in them though
