Bill Schneider - NYO&W

The NYO&W and D&H interchange location.  

On the Sunday of the Springfield RPM meet Don and I visited two of the layouts. The second was Bill Schneider New York, Ontario and Western in HO scale. Bill models between Walton and Sidney NY circa 1947 in a 16' by 30' basement room which is a newer addition to the home. I feel it did not take Bill long to get this one completed although everything had to be scratch-built and it is double decked.

Don and I sat in on Bill's clinic called "the old woman in the new basement" which was very informative regarding the NYO&W and how to model it...George Dutka

The layout is double decked and to me looked complete.

Milk traffic was a big thing on the NYO&W and there is a lot on the layout.

A very realistic view looking down a main street.

A creamery as one enters the layout room. All the structures had to be scratch-built as no kits are available if one wants to keep things accurate.

Don Janes checks things out at the entrance to the layout. I believe it is point to point. This layout is under a new addition to the house.
