The Reading Company Technical and Historical Society is an organization dedicated to the preservation of the Reading Railroad. The modular group includes members interested in preserving the Reading through modeling. The HO scale layout consists of modules, mostly four or six feet in length, that highlight scenes once found along the Reading Railroad. Features include bridges, tunnels, rail yards, engine facilities, industries, agriculture, parks and recreation, and passenger operations. Being of modular design, the layout is flexible and can be assembled in lengths from 60 to 160 feet. The width is fixed at 4 feet and the height is three feet. Today’s layout was 160 feet in length their largest ever. The layout is DCC controlled and consists of a double track mainline with operating signals.
