Columbia Model Railroad on display at CHiPS

A model railroad layout is currently on display at the Columbia Historic Preservation Society, 19-21 Second Street. The model buildings depicting Columbia circa 1920 – 1950 were constructed by Columbia artist Tony Segro, as was the re-creation of the Columbia Opera House (shown on this post).
Information from the display . . .

 The former roundhouse, which sat just below the current Bootleg Antiques building (depicted top left).
A short video clip of the same.

 A panoramic view.  The roundhouse can be seen on the left.

 Looking up Walnut Street (background), as it appeared in former days.

 A model of the Columbia Opera House. The opera house burned in 1947 and was located at the current site of the Borough Offices at Third and Locust Streets.
