Welcome to our site!

Welcome to official web site of the Clarksville B&O an HO scale layout that is loosely based on the B&O.  Both this web site and the layout are joint projects of me and my son, Sean.  We’ve been at work on one layout or another since December 2002, which was when Sean was 7 and he received his first train set for Christmas—a Bachman Spectrum B&O passenger train.  Well to be honest, it may be a debatable point as to who really got the train set that fateful Christmas in 2002 (especially if you ask my lovely and patient wife).

Our layout has gone through three track plans and innumerable trips to local hobby shops.  Please take a look at the web site—perhaps you’ll find something of interest.  Please e-mail us at the link below with any comments or questions.
