Overview‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Baltimore‌ ‌and ‌Ohio‌ L&S Division

Here is a railroad that is a result of 50 years of trial and error. Ed Lorence's HO Scale Baltimore and Ohio is the culmination of lessons learned on previous layouts. This railroad runs from Grafton, West Virginia to Fairport Ohio in 1954. Although its freelanced, Ed tries to create the feeling of a Class One railroad. Ed has built flawless track work. His rolling stock is adjusted into fifty car trains, with semi scale wheels, run perfectly. His engines are all reworked and re-geared, so they are some of the best runners you'll ever see. Thus, the B and O is a joy to operate. Hi, I'm Allen Keller and this is Ed Lorence the creator of the Baltimore and Ohio L and S Division. Ed, why did you decide to model the B and O Well the Baltimore and Ohio was the first common carrier in the United States, and my father in law, he worked for the B and O for over 50 years Allen. The Baltimore and Ohio L and S division runs through West Virginia and Ed's 22 by 24 foot basement, with an extension into the laundry room. The layout is built on elgidor, an open grid bench work with a minimum radius of 36 inches. We'll start our tour of the B and O at East Elkins, West Virginia.
