The N scale S&U Rwy is built around a 45' X 28' basement with CP Rail, CN, BC Rail, and BN running through Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. The layout features mountains, farms, industrial areas, a large steel mill, a large city, many ports, rivers and waterfalls. It has operating mines, dumpers, cranes, excavators and fireworks. It was featured in 1999 "Great Model Railroads" and Nov-Dec 2006 "N Scale Railroading".

The NCE-DCC controlled, HO scale L&KV Model Railroad Museum has a 5,000 sq. ft. double decked layout with about 7,000 ft of track and more than 250 turnouts. A helix connects the lower and upper levels with operational signals. A CTC room from which the entire layout can be monitored and controlled. It depicts the route of the Lehigh Valley Railroad in 1950 to 1976, from West Portal NJ to Bethlehem PA and north to Coxton PA, The Reading Railroad From Quakertown PA. To Bethlehem PA. then to Harrisburg, The Central of New Jersey from Elizabethport NJ to Wilkes-Barre PA.

Joshua's prototypical U-shaped point to point switching layout is based on the towns of Homer and Cortland, NY located along the Syracuse Branch of the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad of 1957. Variety of scratch-built structures from field measurements and period photos. Waybill operation; off layout staging. First generation diesels with period equipment. DCC control (Digitrax). An OO layout (English equivalent of HO) is in progress above.

Paul's DCC controlled HO scale Western Maryland is based on the "Pennsylvania Railroad Schuylkill Division" from a book John Armstrong to which additional staging was added and was operated as the Pennsylvania Railroad Pittsburgh Region. The layout was later changed to the Western Maryland Ry. of 1955 extending from Hagerstown to Connellsville and a portion of the Thomas Sub. Recently, the era on the WM was changed to 1971. 60 detailed and sound‑equipped WM diesels, a slug, run thru N&W power keep the fast freights rolling. New on the WM are 2 scratchbuilt coal mines from the late Alden Smith's layout.

Bob's 1978 Conemaugh Line represents a portion of Conrail’s operation in western PA diverging from Conrail’s Pittsburgh Line near Johnstown, and rejoining Conrail’s Ft Wayne Line in Pittsburgh. The modeled portion is from Kiski Yard near Freeport to Federal Street in Pittsburgh. Staging extends this area eastward to Johnstown PA, westward through Pittsburgh to Conway Yard, and also westward to Butler, and northward to Kittanning. Train control is by Digitrax, Signals are virtual using android tablets and JMRI signal logic with dispatch by a JMRI CTC panel.

The displays at the Marshall Steam Museum include a static O Gauge train module and an operating demo track for Gauge 1 live steam locomotives and trains. All displays will be outdoors, parking will be on the museum property. The museum will not be open during this event.

Ed's layout represents the Lackawanna Railroad in the early 1950s, when both steam and diesel locomotives were being used and depicts in many ways what life was like in the 1950s.”

Ken's layout is a two level, Digitrax DCC layout with two helices. Fully signaled, and dispatcher controlled. Modern era railorad with unit trains, Amtrak MARC, CSX, NS and Susie-Q. Many industries including steel mill, operating coal train loader and dumper plus a  ribbon rail train. For a preview, check Alpugliesetrains, YouTube channel for a recent video.

Dave's 2-level, 2-room layout profiles CSX from Cumberland, MD to Connellsville, PA over Sand Patch. The era depicted is in the early 2000's right after the Conrail split.  Many of the fallen flag railroads around that timeframe are represented with foreign power and rolling stock. The focal point is the large Cumberland yard and is supported by a number of staging tracks to represent prototypic traffic moved on this busy double tracked line. The operating system is NCE and track is code 55. Signature scenes include downtown Cumberland, Narrows, Hyndman, Rockwood, and Sand Patch. Access to the basement layout is via the backyard.
