What happenned to the V&O Locos and Rolling Stock from this great layout?
Well, it’s a safe bet that a few pieces were retained by the original owner and Tony Koester for sentimental reasons, and some probably is in use on Jim Hediger’s Ohio Southern, as I’ve seen some equipment on the OS even before the the V&O was dismantled.
The rest was auctioned off.
In the new Model Railroad Planning, Allen said that he’s planning on making some more models for people who are modelling the V&O.
I know on my layout, I’ve come up with the idea that the V&O interchanges with my railroad south of Mansfield on the route to Columbus and then uses trackage rights over my railroad to Cleveland. Would be nice to have a pair of V&O Geeps and a caboose for that.
