MATTHEW GRIFFITH’S O GAUGE LAYOUT

Early in the autumn, right before the leaves on the trees perched on the steep mountain on Matthew Griffith’s O gauge layout start to change color, a Lionel Alco S-4 road diesel brings empty grain hoppers from the local brewery. Once filled with barley and hops, they’re ready to be refilled. The greatlooking unit (Lionel no. 28548) puts in some long hours on Matt’s 12 x 30-foot three-rail display in Tiffin, Ohio, thanks to the TrainMaster Command Control system he has installed. His skills range from laying and detailing track to wiring and photography.
