O Scale layout - Civil War

Although I have done most of modeling in N Scale and still will, I recently began building an O Scale layout set during the American Civil War. I started a blog about it at http://usmrr.blogspot.com

Take a gander if you have time.

this is a really cool concept - reminds me of a layout on page 88 of a Kalmbach book i recently purchased...  let me know when you are ready for Northern Aggressors to roll in and wreak havoc.

That book wouldn't happen to be "Mid-Sized Track Plans for Realistic Layouts" www.alkemscalemodels.com? If so, then I can understand the similarity. I wrote that book.

This plan is the Aquia-Falmouth line. It was smaller than the City Point line that was featured in the book, and thus more suited to a layout, especially O Scale.

Since this is the USMRR, it is supporting the Union, so come on down and have some hard tack and salted bacon!
