ATLP Rewind - This Old Layout - Rochester Model Railroad Club with Ed O’Connell & Rob Bartels - June 5, 2025

Written By Ray Arnott

ATLP Rewind - Originally Released June 5, 2025

Sometimes, an old layout is worth saving, especially one that is rich in history and has been touched by some model railroading greats. This is the story of the Rochester Model Railroad Club and their efforts to take their 1980's layout from DC to DCC and make it a layout that is modernized and interactive. Club members Ed O'Connell and Rob Bartels tell us about taking on this challenge and how, in the end, they will have a layout that continues to tell the story of the Lehigh Valley.
