The Rob Pratte Photo album...Rob and I have many a phone call just to talk trains. I consider him one of my good friends. He helps me get through the months when my layout is down. Email Rob! |

Another look from the door where we entered. Look at the shelves on the back wall!
Rob's collection of the Pittsburgh Regional Cars. Rob, whether he likes to admit it or not, has had a big part of these cars being produced and promoted.
Some other shelves that surround Rob's layout. The decor is 100% train nut!
MTH Z4000's supply the power to Rob's layout.
Here is a look underneath the layout. Rob has trains everywhere. You can see the loop just under the platform too.
An MTH CSX engine comes out from the Hellgate Bridge as the Lionel Ferris Wheel and Merry-Go-Round entertain the folks of Pratteville.
This is Rob's big project! The hanging track is made up of several loops and is being crafted by a gentlemen with meticulous tastes. Many of the bridges are being hand made to accommodate the layout. This layout when finished will span 2 rooms with a handmade roundhouse in the other room. Rob plans on using both DCS and TMCC.
Last but certainly not least...Rob's son. Our hobby's future is bright with young enthusiastic kids like him. He was giving me the tour! This will be the main area of the overhead layout. The platform will be home to the roundhouse.
