Get thee behind me

I came across this company yesterday, who feature in their range some West Maryland kits, including some from Williamsport, home of that rather wonderful lifting bridge I photographed the other week.

Now I'm not about to make a serious shift to American HO, but I have been thinking that once I convert all my stock to EM I'm going to have an Apa Box layout with what is, after all, HO track in it....

American Railways

I've never had much luck photographing American railways. Mostly because normally when I see them I'm with clients and it isn't the done thing to get excited when a loco rumbles past, and partly because when I do see them they tend not to be easily accessible.

A week cycling the Great Allegheny Passage  and the C&O Canal has gone some way to improving the situation. I'm still sorting through photos, so these will more or less have to speak for themselves for now.
