Bits of the B&A right-of-way have been converted to a rail-trail. The sections north of Annapolis are pretty nice.

W&OD had a good number of shop built freight motors and other oddities. I've got to settle down and build that #26 a 2nd time - I did one about 20 years ago for 3 rail and I'm not even sure where it's at now.

That's a McKeen wannabe.

I've never heard of the Washington & Old Dominion...bears some research. I presume this ran south of DC into Virginia.

I seem to remember crossing a rail-trail when I drive down to Fairfax High School for the NoVa IPMS show...maybe that was part of it.

Think it's a bit further north of there - ran through Falls Church and then out across the Beltway crossing Gallows Rd then on to through Vienna - station still exists there housing a model RR club.

They had a lot of variety in their equipment it seems.

A lot of scratch-building and kit-bashing at the 1:1 scale.
