I'm your host, Rick, Superintendant of the Richmond Terminal Railroad, along with track crew, engineer (motive and infrastructure), planner and janitor. I've been a model railroader since I was about 8; I've always modeled in HO scale and this will be layout number 4, not counting some display layouts I've done for presentations, etc.
My layout is in my basement, located in the metro Richmond area.
A realistic operations layout is my goal; this railroad will operate like part of the transportation system.
