Mike & Perri Dodaro

The DODARO's hosted the August meet in Largo, Florida.
Mike and a few Tampa Bay members have installed a new
"Overhead" single track G-Scale Railway. This unique overhead
layout was custom built by a cabinet shop using oak and 1/4"
plexiglass so the customers can view the trains as they pass
by above their tables.

The Hosts...

the far right hand side

A view from the left side as the train exits the
tunnel built behind the menu A view from the other side of the counter
as it exits to the dining room.
Some of Mikles rolling stock all over the walls

The train as it heads towards the front of the
store on the east side wall One of the two trestles the train passes thru
on its trip around

A view looking out to the front windows as the
train passes over the entry door A view just before it starts its journey again
thru the kitchen

A Wide angle view of the west end of the store front just before the train heads to the kitchen A close up of Mike's wall display

The loco just as in it entering the tunnel
behind the menu Another view as the loco passes above the
custom oak display shelves
