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.

A Little More Paint ...

I took three old Boxcars and painted two of them light orange and one blue like the prototypes, boxcars numbered 2004, 60000 and 1994, and created some more decals to place on the Boxcars. The next thing I knew I had three Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Boxcars. I plan to make a number of Hoppers and Boxcars using the Great Lakes Central Photo Roster as the source. So far the four cars I have custom painted have turned out real well.
