Model railroad on HGTV
Posted by ClinchValleySD40 on Friday, June 18, 2004 8:42 PM
This Saturday (June 19) at 5pm HGTV will have a show called Fantastic Basements. Mike Ritschdorff's N&W Pokey layout is featured about half way through the show. Set your VCR, it's a beautiful railroad.

Has that layout been featured in MR? That was pretty good.

From what I saw, there was at least 1 brass H-8 and I think a Rivarossi H-8.
And 3 P2K mallets. Sweet.
