O Scale Layout
The O scale layout comprises two separate railroad systems. The larger of the two is the Allegheny Northern Railroad, a steam railroad featuring single track mainline with numerous passing sidings, a freight yard and an engine terminal. The second system is the electrified interurban line which connects two urban areas at either end of the layout.
Pictures of the O Scale Layout were taken by Fred M. Dole and appear courtesy of O Gauge Railroading, these pictures were used with an article on the BSME celebrating our 60th anniversary in April 1992.

The HO Scale Layout
The HO Scale layout is made up of three different railroad systems, which interchange rail traffic. The Chesapeake and Western Railroad is a Class I double track mainline operation. This railroad has a large freight yard, engine facilities, and passenger station.
The second rail system is the narrow gauge (3 foot) Oak Bridge and Northern. This system has a small yard and engine facilities and serves as the only means of getting supplies to and goods from a coal mine high on the mountainside.
The third rail system is an electrified interurban which serves as a connecting link between the major city of Chesapeake and the small town of Johnstown at the opposite end of the layout.
The city on the HO layout, now over 30 years old is planned for renovation! Join us in it's reconstruction!
