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.

Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Locomotive

I was able to locate a Tuscola and Saginaw Bay locomotive from a member of a yahoo group on the Ann Arbor railroad. We struck a deal and I should be receiving it in a week or so. It is number 389 called the City of Traverse City. I am excited. The Locomotive belonged to the Ann Arbor railroad and was sold to the Tuscola and Saginaw Bay railway. The Locomotive then became property of the Great Lakes Central Railroad.

here is a photo of the real locomotive#389

What it looked like before when Ann Arbor owned it

What it looks like now that Great Lakes Central owns it

The Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Railway operated the northern section of the former Ann Arbor railroad trackage north of the city of Ann Arbor. It was purchased and renamed Great Lakes Central railroad
