Waterbury, Connecticut in a garage? In this MRVP Exclusive Layout Visit, subscribers will get to view Robert Gross’ HO scale New Haven layout located inside a two-car garage in sunny Florida! While Robert’s layout is under construction, we thought you’d still enjoy seeing trains in action on a great model railroad in the making!
Great work. Outstanding
Thanks for sharing! Onward!
Hope your layout survived hurricane Irma.
Really enjoyed your video tour, Robert. You’re doing a great job of representing the New Haven and railroading in the late 40’s. I appreciate the fine operating concept that you’ve developed. You should have many years of fun operating sessions! Thanks for sharing.
Very nice!
very nice
Enjoyed the video. I live in Clermont FL and I am doing the EL in my garage. Would certainly like to visit the New Haven Waterbury Line. How can one get in touch with Robert?
Great work Robert and love those DLs!
Hi Robert, I enjoyed touring your layout very much. I too am a fan of the New Haven and it’s always great to see other New Haven layouts for inspiration and ideas. Great work and I hope you’ll post more videos as your layout progresses. Thanks for sharing.
Nice layout tour Robert… I can tell we have very similar modeling techniques, so I’d say we have equal skills and I’m in your league. I’m using photo backdrops also as it seems to add more realism and depth of field. Keep up the great work!
Great work Robert. Thank you for sharing. Definitely looking forward to updates!
Great layout Bob. Seems like a well planned scheme to model operations and train movements across a large area of the New Haven line. Nice track work and structures and the many streams and rivers will add much interest in the scenery. Thanks for sharing.
Robert,
Thanks for the tour of your wonderful New Haven layout-in-progress. Even at its current state of completion, you’ve captured something essential of the look and feel of a Connecticut mill town – speaking as someone who lived there for a few years. I ,too, am modeling the late forties, although my much smaller layout is based on Pennsy operations in New York harbor. I was particularly impressed with the excellent weathering job on your locomotives, rolling stock and structures; I hope I can do as well.
My progress is pretty slow these days (my leisure time has been diverted to other activities), but I’ll do my best to keep up, and I’ll look forward to an update from you down the road.

Thanks for showing your layout while it’s still in progress. You’ve got to get it working properly, which you have, before scenery and structures, in my opinion. If you can’t have fun running the trains there’s no icing on the cake, no life, just static moments in time. Keep it up!
A genuine work in progress, love it. And seeing the older ALCO’s was nice.
