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.

More Enhancements to Layout

I have added The prison as a background building and a gatehouse. Work is set to begin on the parking lot soon. I have 2 Michigan State Police vehicles on hold at Mountain Town Hobbies in Mt. Pleasant Michigan I am still looking for a prison bus I can use.

I put in a beach area just off the tennis court. To serve both the tennis court and the beach I added a hot dog stand. I also added bleachers for people to watch the game of doubles that is going on. The line judge is making sure the game is played according to the rules and the ball boy is ready to retrieve the loose balls. I have another set of bleachers I have yet to put together and place on the layout. Also I have ordered people for the beach area and a few outhouses.

All in all the layout is developing a character of it's own. There is however a lot I have yet to add and it will be years before the layout is complete.
