The New England Berkshire Western of the Rensselaer Model Railroad Society at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is truly a world class HO layout. On board shots from the cab, and from the top of a boxcar will add to your enjoyment of this superb layout. You'll seen scenes the builders of this railroad have never seen before.

The era is the early 50's. The country and the railroads are at full capacity; the NEB&W is swept along with this burgeoning economy. The line's people and equipment are overworked. Dispatchers try to cram as much traffic as they can on the single track main. Steam still reigns on the NEB&W although diesels are nosing into the roundhouse. These indeed are good years.

You'll follow the hotshot milk train from one end of railroad to the other as it meets other trains and does some switching. Dispatchers make sure this train has the right of way.

Some of today's most talented modelers have built this 124x33 foot layout. John Nehrich, Jeff English, and Todd Sullivan will show you some of the special techniques that they used.

You're sure to get helpful ideas and inspiration as you enjoy this exciting program.
