Gold Coast Railroad Museum Layout

[brickbuilder711]

The Gold Coast Railroad Museum in Miami, FL has an amazing HO layout on display.

It is set in a dynamic, post WWII era, so anytime between the 50s and now, boasts 3 loops and is clear for double stacks in the lower level. Lots of things can and have been run on it - Acelas, intermodal, racks, manifest, etc.

I've had many, many opportunities to run on it over the last couple of months. In fact, I put together a little video to show you guys

While the layout has had a couple of weak spots, the local club ECHOES just came and fixed it. So expect many more videos from this awesome layout!

Intermodal ops from tripling the train together to running it on the main!! With the new GEVOs.

That's so typical when trying to video tape model trains. They misbehave so badly at every opportunity.

I have to agree. LOL. They'll find every opportunity to short out.
