PennLUG Displays at The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania

This past weekend PennLUG (Pennsylvania Lego Users Group) participated in The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania’s anual Pennsy Days event.



Brickshelf Gallery

Pennsy Days is a three day event celebrating the heritage of the Pennsylvania Railroad held at The Railroad Museum of PA. This year PennLUG set up a Lego train display as part of the event. Three members contributed to this layout, Mike Gibney, Matt Hocker, and Cale Leiphart. This turned out to be one of our nicest splays to date and included some great features such as.

Several Pennsylvania Railroad MOCs including two steam engines.



A NXT powered ping pong Trolley route and Matt Hocker’s awesome Hershey Trolley.



Mike Gibney’s great little farm.



And a small city street scene inspired by the new Cafe Corner set



Questions and comments are welcome.

Cale

Howdy - nice layout there! Regarding the second pic from the top, is that the Ghostbusters trying to contain Slimer?

I like the Civil War era cannon (mortar?) mounted on the flatcar...does the barrel rotate or is it just on there for transport?

Hi Cale,

thanks for sharing. This is a great train layout. Not to big, not to small and it contains all relevant things you need for such a layout like houses, streets, cars, trucks, people, track, engines, waggons, track side stuff ... And everything is covered with baseplates and you’ve used a nice cloth to cover the tables.

I have two questions:



The steamer looks great, is there a gallery showing more detailled pics of the loco and the tender somewhere available?

The 8wide box cars are cool. Do you have any detailled pics of the trucks without the LEGO emement holding the wheels available?

Thanks

Holger

It sure is. There is also the Ecto-1 there somewhere. They are Matt Hocker’s

This one is Matt’s as well. He has a MOCpages Gallery for it that explains it in detail. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/15055

I don’t have galleries for the the 2-10-0 steam engine or the box cars yet but I do have some of my other train MOCs on Brickshelf. Including more detailed photos of the truck design. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=233928
