Large HO Scale Basement Layout BY Master Craftsman Al Pugliese

I had the honor of visiting this layout while I was in Maryland in October 2022. This is an HO scale layout that has taken 25 years to get to this point. It is still a work in progress. Al has learned from the best modelers in the industry with in person help from Howard Zane and Harry Clark.

Many of the buildings on his layout are scratch built by himself and others, some are craftsman kits and kit bashes.

We spent nearly 3 hours one evening viewing this amazing layout, listening to all the stories of the history, how it was built, and who inspired each individual component to come up with this amazing masterpiece.

Howard Tom & Al In The Ultimate Train Room

Check out Al's latest video when I visited Howard Zane on Monday before heading back to Florida

Morning with great modelers

Had a great time this morning chatting with Howard Zane & Al Pugliese. Seeing Howard's layout in person is much better than any video or photos of this place. It's a must see.

I will have a few videos once I return to Florida
