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.

What your looking for is sometimes in front of you

I have been searching frantically for Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Locomotives for a while. I got lucky about a month ago and found one on the internet # 389 The City of Traverse City. It was a great price and I was sure that the other Locomotive was out of my reach. About a week ago I was in Mountain Town Hobbies in Mt. Pleasant Michigan and there on the shelf was the locomotive # 394 The City of Clare. Needless to say I had them put it aside for me. This is the locomotive that Athern misspelled the name of the city as Clair. this makes that locomotive somewhat of a collectors item.
