In this video, I recently visited and created this layout tour video of Rick Abramson's New Haven Railroad Layout.. About 5 years ago I visited this layout but since then the layout was moved and expanded. Sit back and relax as I narrate this tour of this awesome layout. Part 2 is in production and will be coming soon. There will be a Part 3 and a possibility of Part 4. Enjoy!

You have no idea how much my husband is enjoying your videos. He worked his way through college "Gandy Dancer", working on the very places you are modeling. His Dad was a track forman when he retired in 1966....having worked on the NH RR most of his life. You have a model of his tool house in Devon, which we have an old B&W of. My husband is also a model railroader. He used to go to all the shows but is partially blind now, so he gets his RR "fix" from KZfaq videos.

Thanks so much for your comment. This layout belongs to my good friend Rick Abramson who started with the New Haven at Devon Tower. I will be posting another video soon on his layout.

I'm really interested in the catenary and catenary bridges. An immense amount of work there, even if it's not functional. I have not seen kits for these structures so they must surely be scratch built. I built a small interurban layout and it was a real pain to clean the track under an overhead wire. Beautiful work here !

Excellent layout and video. So glad to see everything kept period correct. Tired of seeing layouts with steam locomotives running with SD70's. And mixed time period railroads running together. Great job!

This layout is not mine. It belongs to Rick Abramson. The process to install the overhead catenary is very time consuming from what I have heard.
