Scarborough Model Rail Roaders

Welcome to modern era North American railroading. Watch a 113 car coal unit train (Yes we really do run 113 car trains!) wind its way through the hills and valleys of the Appalachian mountains

The N scale layout is still largely under construction. Repeat visitors marvel at how far we have come, and can see what is left to finish.
