Art of Model Railroading Volume 2: Tony Koester's Nickel Plate Road
Join Nace’s Videography on Tony Koester’s Nickel Plate Road, representing October 1954 on the Third Subdivision of the St. Louis Division of the Clover Leaf District!
Steam still rules with 0-8-0 Switchers, 2-8-2 Mikados, 2-8-4 Berkshires and 4-6-4 Hudsons, but diesels are making their presence known with EMD GP7s, FM H-10-44s and ALCO RS-3s and PAs. You will witness locomotives being serviced and assigned to trains at the massive facilities and yards in Frankfort and Charleston, view switching operations at Linden, Veedersburg, Cayuga, Humrick, Metcalf, Oakland and Fair Grange, and observe passenger operations at Frankfort, Linden, Veedersburg, Cayuga, and Charleston — all with authentically recreated track plans, buildings and scenes, pulled by correct locomotive classes assigned to this subdivision.
