Cherry Valley O-scale

Cherry Valley O Scale is a not-for-profit club dedicated to the promotion of 2-rail O-scale (1:48) model railroading,[1] located in Merchantville, New Jersey, United States, in the basement/undercroft of the Grace Episcopal Church.

[10] This layout was 27 by 55 feet in size,[12] and was of a double-track folded dogbone design, built with traditional square tabletop framing, plaster scenery, and relay control.

[4][14] The new layout was started in 2001,[15] is of a double-track looped-8 design; but has been built around the walls, with several reversing loops, curved laminate benchwork, more than 2000 linear feet of track,[16] and a scale model of Philadelphia's 30th Street Station.

[15] Scenery has been built with a mix of hydrocal and extruded styrofoam board, and North Coast Engineering (NCE) Digital Command Control has been installed to allow running of multiple trains without the need for complex relay systems.

[8][16] The layout also features working signals that display proper occupancy, as well as scale-sized lighting fixtures for night scenes.

This rolling stock represents all periods of history,[15] and is a mixture of brass, bronze, tin, white metal, plastic, resin, wood, paper, cardboard, and die-cast models; most of which has been extensively kitbashed/modified, features custom paint and water-slide decals; and has been weathered to better replicate real-world conditions.
