Virginian and Ohio

The Virginian and Ohio is both the name of a fictional railroad company created by W. Allen McClelland and the HO scale model railroad he built featuring this railroad. The V&O is famous in the model railroading world for setting a new standard for freelanced (fictional) model railroads designed to operate in a prototypical manner and was a major influence upon many model railroaders of the time. In 1984, Mr. McClelland wrote a detailed guide to the construction and operation of the railroad.
==Model railroad==
The original V&O was built in 1962 and was set in the 1950s. The railroad operated from Afton, VA to Elm Grove, VA. In the mid 1970s, Allen McClelland began a second phase of construction that expanded the railroad from Elm Grove to Kingswood Junction, VA. McClelland was very interested in actual prototype running so the railroad constantly moved forward in time. For example, in 1980 (1958 on the railroad), the V&O ran the last of its steam locomotives and switched entirely to diesel.〔McClelland, The V&O Story, supra, at 92.〕 Allen then moved the timeframe of the railroad to 1968. In the late 1990s, the railroad was expanded one final time and was updated to 1975.
In 2001, McClelland moved into a new home, forcing him to dismantle the original layout. The Clintwood section of the layout is currently stored at the National Model Railroad Association's headquarters building in Soddy-Daisy, TN, pending public display in the Scale Model Railroading exhibit at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. Allen began construction on a second V&O in the basement of his home.
Construction of the new V&O (the "Gauley Division") was cut short in 2008 by another move, this time to a house without a basement, as detailed in the October 2008 issue of ''Scale Rails'' (the official publication of the National Model Railroad Association), and the January 2009 issue of "Model Railroader".
