Barry's Model Railroad

This is an accounting of my attempts at model railroads N scale and HO or OO. I find it to be a lot of fun. I concentrate my efforts on The New York Central, Ann Arbor, Pere Marquette, Chesapeake and Ohio as it relates to the Pere Marquette, Michigan Central Railroads and my own Salt Creek Railroad. I am also interested in the Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Railway, the Great Lakes Central Railroad, CSX, Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific, and BNSF. You are welcome to give me advice.

Preparing for the layout table

Back inside now after quite a few good hours outside with the garden railroad.
I have made arrangements with Oscar Hagerman, a local builder, to construct the train tables needed for the indoor layout. We agreed on a price and are ready to go, all I need to do is save up the money and construction will begin. The layout will be a large U shape table featuring a downtown area with a nice park for the residents and a passenger station, a farming area, a coal mine, a freight yard area, and a camping area. I have a few buildings from a layout I did for practice that I will be using.
I figure that I will be ready to start construction on the tables sometime before Fall. I can hardly wait.
